1 peopleA confessional novel that follows a writer marked by war and a wife wounded by his past at an almost suffocatingly close range. Love, guilt, illness, and family life intertwine until the home itself becomes a battlefield of the mind.
Memories of love and guilt quietly yet deeply erode married life.
