Campaign Widows

De: Aimee Agresti

Narrado por: Thérèse Plummer, Therese Plummer

Cady Davenport is living the American dream…

At least she’s supposed to be. She’s in a new city, with a new job and even a new fiancé. But when her husband-to-be hits the road for the upcoming presidential election, Cady realizes she’s on her own—and that her dream life might not be all she’d imagined.

Until she finds herself thrust straight into the heart of the most influential inner circle in Washington, DC: the campaign widows. As friends, they’re an unlikely group—a fabulous Georgetown doyenne; a speechwriter turned mommy blogger; an artsy website editor; and a First Lady Hopeful who’s not convinced she wants the job. But they share one undeniable bond: their spouses are all out on the trail during a hotly contested election season.

Cady is unsure of her place in their illustrious group, but with the pressures of the unprecedented election mounting, the widows’ worlds keep turning—faster than ever—as they hold down the fort while running companies, raising babies, racking up page views and even reinventing themselves. And their friendship might be just what Cady needs to find the strength to pursue her own happiness.

Great delivery by narrator

A lot of characters and the narrator did a great job distinguishing them all and keep the story movingm

Chick-lit at its finest

If you like Sex In The City and if you like The West Wing, you will enjoy this novel. Finally, don’t be dumb like me and think that “Campaign Widows” is about women who assassinate their husbands....

Didn't hold my attention

I bought this because it sounded like it could be an interesting story of the significant others attached to a national political campaign. Good premise but didn't hold up. I also picked it up because Therese Plummer's narrations are always great. Unfortunately even she at 1.25 speed couldn't hold my attention. Will return it.
