Ep 128 [S6-14] Robert Inman Political Intrigue with “The Governor’s Lady”
In today’s episode, we visit with Robert “Bob” Inman, author of “The Governor’s Lady,” and
other novels.
Library Journal says of “The Governor’s Lady” that "Inman beautifully blends old-fashioned
Southern storytelling with tense political drama. Readers with an interest in American politics,
fierce women, or family relationships will enjoy this novel, whose strongly developed characters
and plot suspense will keep them from putting this book down until the very last page."
D.G. Martin, host of "North Carolina Bookwatch" on UNC-TV says its "...a terrific story with a
cast of unusual characters" and Lee Smith, author of Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger
says that “Robert Inman hits the ground running and keeps up the pace in this suspenseful page-
turner, which takes us behind the headlines as a Southern governor’s wife assumes the office
herself so he can run for president. The real question is, how does Robert Inman know so much
about state politics, public marriages, and human nature? And how did he come up with such
believable characters—not only the ambitious ex-governor and his plucky, likable wife, but also
the fascinating hangers-on who attach themselves to any rising political figure? The Governor’s
Lady—a heady mix of sex and sexism, politics and greed, trust and perfidy—is as timely as the
morning’s news.”
Bob starts the show reading from the beginning of “The Governor’s Lady,” a good place to start.
