This is a little book, no more than 177 pages and formatted to almost postcard size. Like a bite-sized novel.
The story is told in the point of view of the wife, referred to as “the wife”, and snippets, like tiny journal entries. It chronicles the woman’s life from shortly before meeting her husband to the dissolution of their marriage. They endure several trials of life, like a colicky baby, bedbugs, and career shifts, which help define their relationship.
This novel reads as musings on life, art, and love, with tenderness, rage, and wit.
