The Ten Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer, narrated by Alyssa Bresnahan
I picked this book to read because of its title. I would love a ten year nap! But in this case the nap refers to the time spent as a stay at home parent. The book follows four New York friends who have chosen to stay at home with their children and who are now contemplating a return to paid employment. Understandably, they have mixed feelings about going back to work. Have they fallen too far behind? What if they don't want to go back? Just to make it interesting, Wolitzer interleaves each friend's story with her mother's during the Women's Liberation movement and lets the husbands tell their stories too. 383 pages. 13 hours 39 minutes.
