About this audiobook
A seemingly perfect domestic life is secretly plagued by boredom, leading a restless wife to intentionally stir up trouble just to feel alive. Her misguided attempts to create dramatic tension with her fiercely loyal, mild-mannered husband backfire in unexpected, socially disastrous ways. As her fabricated crises snowball out of control, she risks destroying the very happiness she took for granted. It is a sharp, psychological comedy of manners that brilliantly dissects the absurdities of marital complacency.
