Sinossi
La protagonista di questo romanzo è una donna ancora innamorata del marito dopo quindici anni vissuti insieme. I due sono sulla quarantina e formano una coppia perfetta: due figli brillanti, una grande casa, successo sociale. Ma sotto questa apparente felicità coniugale lei cela una passione morbosa nei confronti del marito, mentre lui sembra accontentarsi di una relazione serena e distaccata: i suoi baci sono veloci e il corpo nudo della moglie non lo eccita più. Per dimostrare a se stessa che il marito non la ama - o almeno non abbastanza - lei inizia a spiare ogni suo movimento, cercando i segni del disamore. Dal lunedì alla domenica annota metodicamente le sue "colpe" e immagina i dolori da infliggergli, le trappole da tendergli, gli inganni per metterlo alla prova. Di fronte alle altre donne che le sembrano sempre più belle di lei, deve essere la più ordinata, la più in forma, la più desiderabile. Ridiamo, ci preoccupiamo, ci identifichiamo e non sappiamo a cosa porterà questo faccia a faccia coniugale mentre la tensione sale a ogni pagina.

Phew! I’m glad that’s over! This book was absolutely painful to read. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it kept getting progressively worse. And for this being a short book at only 272 pages, it felt like 572 pages. I did not enjoy this book at all. In this story we have a wife who is totally Leggi tutto
This French feminist debut novel is a very smart romp, as it illustrates what would happen if someone lived by the advice given in women's magazines regarding how to please and interpret a man. The 40-year-old protagonist defines her own existence fully by being a wife, her world revolves around her Leggi tutto
My friend, Tatiana, called this "delightfully deranged" so... how could I resist? And it is. The narrator is absolutely batshit and (view spoiler) [she may not be the only one (hide spoiler)] . I blasted through it. The first person narrator is OBSESSED with her husband, with everything he does and says. If they are sat together and Leggi tutto
