And then she meets Bill Clinton. A handsome, charismatic southerner and fellow law student, Bill is already planning his political career. In each other, the two find a profound intellectual, emotional, and physical connection that neither has previously experienced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the real world, Hillary followed Bill back to Arkansas, and he proposed several times; although she said no more than once, as we all know, she eventually accepted and became Hillary Clinton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut in Curtis Sittenfeld's powerfully imagined tour-de-force of fiction, Hillary takes a different road. Feeling doubt about the prospective marriage, she endures their devastating breakup and leaves Arkansas. Over the next four decades, she blazes her own trail--one that unfolds in public as well as in private, that involves crossing paths again (and again) with Bill Clinton, that raises questions about the tradeoffs all of us must make in building a life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrilliantly weaving a riveting fictional tale into actual historical events, Curtis Sittenfeld delivers an uncannily astute and witty story for our times. In exploring the loneliness, moral ambivalence, and iron determination that characterize the quest for political power, as well as both the exhilaration and painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world still run mostly by men, \u003ci\u003eRodham\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular and unforgettable novel.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCurtis Sittenfeld\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the novels \u003ci\u003ePrep, The Man of My Dreams, American Wife, Sisterland, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEligible, \u003c\/i\u003e and the story collection \u003ci\u003eYou Think It, I'll Say It, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich have been translated into thirty languages.
