Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “Behind Every Good Man” by Sara Goodman Confino, Amazon Publishing, August 2024. On Tour with Get Red PR.

Kudos to Sara Goodman Confino, the Author for “Behind Every Good Man” for writing such an entertaining, captivating and witty novel. I was having a few bad days and “Behind Every Good Man” perked me up, and I was enjoying myself, and didn’t want the book to end. This is just the perfect book for the Election Stress, and actually any time. The genres for this book are Historical Fiction, Humor, Romantic Fiction, Women’s Fiction, and Contemporary Fiction. Is it true behind “EVERY GOOD MAN’ there is a woman who is manipulating the outcome? In this delightful, well-written Novel, Sara Goodman Confino vividly describes the political community and agendas, toxic families and her dramatic and colorful characters. The characters are complex and complicated. Some are quirky and both resourceful and deceitful.

One of the female protagonists, Beverly Diamond, a doting wife, and loving mother, finds her politically motivated husband, Larry in a compromising position with his secretary. Larry runs the political campaign for the next expected senator. Beverly’s father has retired from a successful political career, and Beverly has had a front row seat to how different things work. Beverly’s quirky mother moves in to help Beverly with her two young children and has some secrets as well. What is Beverly going to do now? Just don’t under-estimate a determined woman.

Beverly approaches the other candidate, Michael Landau, and convinces him with her expertise and guidance that he will win. Beverly also feels that women should be respected and listened too, and makes that part of the agenda. There are secrets, and betrayals that seem to go on in the campaign. Not only is Beverly fighting for Michael Landau to win, she is also determined to fight for women’s rights. This is also a battle between the spouses for what is right, and morally acceptable. I appreciate that the author discusses the importance of women, sisterhood, family, friends, emotional support, love, and hope. I highly recommend this thought-provoking novel! Happy Reading!
