“Stewart’s book does what real life doesn’t always allow: It gives the woman a voice.” — Raleigh News & Observer
“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 (starred review)
“Heartbreaking and darkly humorous. . . . [Stewart] is an acute social observer.” — BookPage.com
“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
“Hilarious, heartbreaking, and wise, Husband and Wife is a novel to savor. Stewart’s bright heroine is faced with an impossible choice—and I couldn’t put the book down until I’d followed her story to the end.” — Amanda Eyre Ward, author of Love Stories in This Town
“This narrative voice is so alive and specific that it moves past the idea of ‘narrative voice’ to become a human woman speaking to you. . . . I cherish this wry, funny, aching, intelligent character and this book!” — Marisa de los Santos, author of Belong to Me and Love Walked In
