About this audiobook
A misanthropic wealthy gentleman, desperate for absolute silence, decides to marry a woman who supposedly never speaks. However, his eccentric plan backfires spectacularly when his quiet bride reveals her true, overwhelmingly boisterous nature immediately after the wedding. A web of hilarious conspiracies, cross-dressing disguises, and loud interruptions turns his peaceful sanctuary into a chaotic nightmare. This brilliant farce expertly skewers the expectations of gender and the absurdity of extreme desires. The relentless comedic pacing guarantees a riotous journey from start to finish.
