Elizabeth Curtis Sittenfeld (born 1975) is an American writer. She is author of four novels: Prep, the tale of a Massachusetts prep school; The Man of My Dreams, a coming-of-age novel and an examination of romantic love; American Wife, a fictional story loosely based on the life of First Lady Laura Bush, Sisterland, which tells the story of identical twins with psychic powers, and the forthcomingEligible, which is a contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice, as well as a number of short stories.
American Wife[edit]
Sittenfeld's third novel, called American Wife (2008), is the tale of Alice Blackwell, a fictional character who shares many similarities with former First Lady Laura Bush. In the novel, Blackwell is an only child who grows up in a Democratic family. As a high school student, Blackwell kills a friend in an auto accident. She also has an illegal abortion and discovers that her grandmother is a secret lesbian. She meets, falls in love with, and marries the wild son of an elite Republican family. Her husband rises in politics to the office of president, and, although Blackwell staunchly disagrees with her husband's politics, she continues to love him.
In November 2011, it was announced that Red Crown Productions had begun work on a film version, with the adaptation be written by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Ron Nyswaner.[4]
