I’m not sure others would love this book as much as I did, mainly because the husband reminded me so much of my awful ex-husband, and we were together the same length of time as the couple in the novel: 14 years. But I found it to be an incredibly incisively-written portrait of what it’s like to be in a long relationship in which one spouse is always carrying the heavier load. It will be too much of a downer for a lot of people, but it’s also not very long.
