Sometimes a book can be utterly full of holes and you still can’t put it down. In\u00a0Mrs. Kimble<\/i>, first-time novelist Jennifer Haigh follows the marital career of Ken Kimble, opportunist, serial husband, and all around schmuck. The first section, set in Virginia in the 1960s, revolves around alcoholic first wife Birdie. As we enter the story, Kimble has already left her alone with two small children she is ill equipped to raise on her own. Kimble’s absence in this section sets the tone for the book, which is not so much about Kimble himself as it is about the women he dupes over the years. Next up is Joan, a\u00a0Newsweek<\/i>\u00a0reporter recovering from a mastectomy at her late father’s home in Florida. A wealthy, confident woman left unsteady by breast cancer, she falls for Kimble, who now turns up in a hippie-ish incarnation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
