About this audiobook
Lorna Aldous restores old houses for a living — she strips them back to the bone and makes them whole and true again. The one everyone in Aldermoor envies is her own: a 1912 foursquare she brought back from a wreck with her own two hands. She made the home. She also, somewhere inside it, disappeared.
Then she reads her own house the way she reads a job — and it tells on him. Her husband Gregory, a dentist with a good life and a comfortable marriage, didn't just have an affair. He brought the other woman across their threshold, into the home Lorna built, while Lorna was out on job sites. He wasn't unhappy. That was the ugliness of it: the good, ordinary, faithful life bored him, and he burned a sound house for the thrill of the fire.
Lorna doesn't scream and she doesn't beg. She does what she knows how to do — she strips the defiled house back to bare wood and reclaims it, room by room, as hers alone, and builds a business from it until she is finally visible in her own life. Gregory spends a year learning that words are worthless and only deeds count: no contact until she asks, the slow un-thrilling work of a man learning to want the ordinary he threw away, and finally selling his half of the practice — the place the double life lived — to put the deed to the house in her name, asking nothing back. The other woman, promised a future he never meant, walks away with her own dignity. And their teenage son's trust has to be earned back on its own hard clock.
The Affair Came Home With Him is an emotional, grown-up domestic drama about the most intimate betrayal — the affair that comes into the marriage's literal home — and the woman who took the house back, deed and soul, before she decided whether to let him through the door again. A real infidelity reckoning with an other woman who is wronged, not a villain; a year of hard-earned grovel in deeds, not words; and a hard-won second chance where the home is hers and the man has to earn his way back through the front door with his own hands.
