Dept. of Speculation

Dept. of Speculation / Jenny Offill 179 pgs.

This is a little book about a marriage.  It starts out to be a good one but then there is trouble. The book is written from the wife's perspective and is only known as "the wife".  The early days of the marriage is are filled with bedbugs, a colicky baby and the loss of ambition. They are struggling in New York and then the husband cheats.  Will the relationship survive?  How difficult is it to cope with the realization that your perfect mate has cheated on you?  What questions continue to come up in your mind?  This is a very quick read and I enjoyed it.
