Title: Think--and laugh--through "After the Rice"
Review: After the Rice is French's latest novel, and although features her distinctive quirky characters, this book deals with some serious issues. Megan Ismore is twenty-nine, married for ten months, a "mature student" and finds out that she's pregnant. The problem? She and straight-laced husband, Matt, don't want children. Over the course of a week, Megan tries to get time alone with Matt to tell him her news. Unfortunately, two annoying house guests, a sister having a nervous breakdown, and babysitting a "pink tyrant" of a niece leave little time for the couple. Will they keep the baby or won't they? The difficult question at the heart of this book shows French is expanding as a writer, tackling more complicated situations through her characters.
