I like Sue Miller, so this was an easy listen. It wasn't a terribly compelling novel, however. It is nice to have a main character who is woman of an age with life experience and the themes of marriage and relationships were portrayed well. I was just left with a bit of "meh" feeling at the end. Recommended though.

I liked this one! It is a story of a marriage and if we ever truly know the person we marry.
Good audio! Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Audio!
4 star.

I both read the e-galley and listened to the audiobook version of Monogamy.
I rated the book itself two stars; however, I think this is a high-quality audio production.

The narrator's voice suits the age and demeanor of the main protagonist, Annie, whom I did not view as a particularly kind or sympathetic character. (I didn't much care for the other characters, either.) The way that the narrator emphasized certain dialogue underscored its harshness or abruptness for me. Contrary to how it might sound, it worked!

Overall, I was far more engaged when listening to the audiobook than when reading the e-book.

Monogamy is a thought provoking tale of a second marriage focusing on the sexual desires of each partner. The audio book is well read and the characters are very empathetic, even in their cheating ways.
