I was pleased to review Jill Alexander Essbaum’s debut novel, Hausfrau, for Chapter 16. Essbaum has written anthologized erotic poetry, and in her debut novel, this background shines through. If you loved Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina, but always wondered how it might roll if the naughty, steamy bits were described (in literary ways, since we all know that’s way hotter), then you’ll enjoy Hausfrau. My review’s up now at Chapter 16.
