Critical Praise

"Leah Stewart’s brilliantly written novel Husband and Wife is a deeply human book: funny, tender, smart, self-aware. When you read it you will laugh, you will cry, you will recognize others, you will recognize yourself."

—Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Castaways and Barefoot

"Stewart creates a crisis of faith where adult reality collides with youthful dreams. The writing is tactile, elemental, even comical, providing readers with a situation that could so easily be their own."

—Library Journal

"Heartbreaking and darkly humorous. . . . [Stewart] is an acute social observer."

"Stewart’s book does what real life doesn’t always allow: It gives the woman a voice."

—Raleigh News & Observer
