Free (DRM-free ePub/Mobi) Housewife Blues by Warren Adler [Quirky Literary Fiction]

[ATDrake]

The Housewife Blues by Warren Adler, who's been pretty generous about giving away his backlist since Read An Ebook Week, is one of those quirky journeys of self-discovery literary fiction novels, originally published in 1992 (Amazon unhelpfully lists the paperback publisher as "Unknown") and now offered free courtesy of the author himself.

Free without DRM in your choice of ePub or Mobi for a limited @ the author's website in return for your name and address.

Adler's backlist books are reasonably priced and couponable at Kobo, Fictionwise, Sony, and other discount-allowing outlets, and he's offering all these freebies as promo for his upcoming new novel out in September, just so you know.

Description
How the frenetic pace of big city life impacts on a small town girl.

A small town girl from the Midwest is carried away by her "Prince Charming" to the super-charged canyons of modern New York City. Warned by her uptight advertising executive husband to beware of strangers, the newlywed cannot repress her small town upbringing and instinctive innocence.

She eventually befriends many of the offbeat and quirky tenants in her apartment building and enters into their complicated and sometimes tragic lives. Her journey of self-discovery from naiveté through disenchantment and eventual wisdom makes for a suspenseful story of a young woman's inner turmoil and how culture shock can impact on deeply held values.
