A searing and unflinching novel about marriage and how it makes liars out of us all. For fans of Jenny Offill’s Dept. of Speculation, Elena Ferrante’s The Days of Abandonment and Claire Messud’s The Woman Upstairs.
A brilliant and exhilarating sequence of aphorisms from one of our greatest essayists.
Acclaimed writer Sarah Manguso makes her fiction debut with an icy, furious novel about the way in which a society can ignore and enable the abuse of young women, narrated by the daughter of just such an abusive mother.
