Story4.5 out of 5 stars 102
The residents in Brisbane's Riverview apartment block barely know each other. They have no idea of the loneliness, the lost hopes and dreams, being experienced behind their neighbours' closed doors. Vera, now widowed, is trying her hardest to create a new life for herself in an unfamiliar city environment. Unlucky-in-love Maddie has been hurt too many times by untrustworthy men yet refuses to give up on romance. Ned, a reclusive scientist, has an unusual interest in bees and worm farms. Meanwhile, the building's caretaker, Jock, has all but given up hope of achieving his secret dream.

The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love. When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...

In Sex, Lies and Question Time, former MP Kate Ellis looks at what it is really like to be a woman in Australian politics today. In 2017, a survey showed zero per cent of young Australian women would consider entering politics. Zero. In a time when we critically need women in our parliament, and in a country that was an early leader in women's political participation, there is a perception that women and politics don’t mix. Shocking incidents have exposed the sexism that women in politics face from opposition, the media, the public, even their own colleagues.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin
WHAT IF HILLARY RODHAM HAD TURNED DOWN BILL CLINTON'S PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE?
‘Awfully opinionated for a girl’ is what they call Hillary as she grows up in her Chicago suburb.
Smart, diligent, and a bit plain, that’s the general consensus. Then Hillary goes to college, and her star rises. At Yale Law School, she continues to be a leader— and catches the eye of driven, handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him, Hillary gives him a firm No.
The rest, as they say, isn’t history. How might things have turned out for them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had really turned down Bill Clinton?
With her sharp but always compassionate eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men.
Uncannily astute and witty in the telling, RODHAM is a brilliant reimagining – an unmissable literary landmark and truly a novel of our times.

Multi-universes in action...
I like this book and I admire the author so much. It's amazing how she wrote this book as a biography but not a biography at the same time. I really like the idea of making Hillary take different choice from the one she chose in her life "The idea of no marrying Bill Clinton". It's really amazing. Many authors are writing about how multi-universes run simultaneously but in different direction. However, no one (that I know of) explore it really, like in this book. It amaze me, how different life could be if we just decided to change one past decision.
There are some ethical argument about this book. As it includes public figures and it dwell in their private life (Who's sleeping with Whom). The author toke the responsibility to show Hilary and other figures (real people) as any normal characters. Did the author get at least a promotion from the main characters?! I'm not sure but I guess the author herself wouldn't want in that position. Important to mention these concerns are for all the people involved including Bill Clinton.
The author gave example of media cruelty and how it's manipulated by people in power.
This book is Amazing and make me want to read Hillary Clinton biography. I think she is amazing women and if she was elected she will do better than many men who entered the White House.

A strange book
I found this story strange. Maybe I wasn’t quite prepared for this view, or any fictional story about someone’s real life, while they’re alive.

Rodham...an alternative present
Gripped from the beginning by this book, "Rodham's" plausability is finely crafted by Settenfeld's storyline & wordsmithing, to provide speculation of an alternative USA, circa 2020.

Difficult to tell truth from fiction
This is a mock auto-biography that is so realistic and factual at times it makes you question what is real and what isn't. It's the story of perhaps a stronger, more confident Hilary, and the outcome for her is everything she'd spent a lifetime to achieve.

A genius sliding doors premise
The sliding doors premise of Curtis Sittenfelds ‘Rodham’ is clever and captivating. What would happen if Hilary didn’t marry Bill ? You’ll have to read to find out. As a politics buff, this book still managed to change my thinking about things I thought were no-brainers . The made up Trump anecdotes (that are borrowed from real world anecdotes yet set in a new context) made me laugh out loud (and rewind so I can hear again!).

Interesting take on a ‘Sliding Doors Moment’
A good read and an interesting proposition on Hilarys life story. The weaving of the facts through the book make you think about Hilary and her abilities and what a great President she would have been. The story also shows how hard it is for women and how they are judged. Really enjoyed the book, cannot wait to read others by this author.
