Well, I've finished Quartet, which I really liked although that last bit was just super painful, and I've caught up with you in Wives reading but now I'm the one who is perennially behind in comments (I won't catch up tonight -- hopefully this weekend).
I do think that Wives must be easier than Heinrich and AW, as I didn't have nearly the sense of pushing through that I usually did with those books. I'm not convinced it's syntactically that much easier (I still couldn't figure out the German very easily), but it might be somewhat easier. Also, it's not politically dense, which was a large part of what made me slower with the Heinrich and AW books.
