Really enjoyed this book. Made myself put it down for an hour - I was speeding through it and wanted to slow it down. The pain and confusion were so real. ( )

Really this is a 3.5 star book. I did enjoy it, I guessed various things as I was reading it but everything was nicely tidied up at the end. ( )

“And she thinks perhaps that is what love is: letting someone else see that part of you that shatters like glass".
― Thomas Christopher Greene, The Headmaster's Wife

When Arthur Winthrop, the head of a Boarding school in Vermont, is found wandering naked in Central Park, he is brought into police headquarters. There he begins to tell his story.

And what a story it is. This book I never saw coming. There is a twist that is done in the most smooth, well written way.

The book, The Headmaster's wife is about grief and mourning and regret and loneliness. I enjoyed it so much I picked it as a read for my former book club, (one of my book clubs.)

This book was lovely to read and it is worth mentioning that I started it, intending to read only a few pages because it was late and I was not really in a reading mode at that moment. I got carried away and read to the end. I think any fan of Literary Fiction will want to add this to their list and I am so glad I had the chance to read this. ( )

I thought this was going to be a sleeper until about half way and BAM! I didn't see it coming. Great book for a book group. ( )

The Headmaster’s Wife. Thomas Christopher Greene. 2014. This book received lots of good reviews. I enjoyed it—for me it’s a no brainer as it took place in a boarding school—but I was somewhat disappointed as I do not think it was a good as the reviewers did. The headmaster of an exclusive New England boarding school is found naked, wandering around Central Park. His story is told in flashbacks as the talks to the police who arrested him. We see approaching disaster from the beginning. Half way through the narrator changes and we see an entirely different version of the events leading up to his arrest. There are some pithy good comments on marriage and parenthood. I read it in less than 24 hours so it kept my interest! ( )
