The study of animal languages

The study of animal languages / Lindsay Stern, read by MacLeod Andrews, 229 pgs.

Prue and Ivan are professors, each focusing on language and communication but their marriage is failing as their personal communication is on the fritz.  Ivan is dealing with his father-in-law who wants to hear the big lecture his daughter is delivering.  Father-in-law might be off his meds...but Ivan has kind of always felt like he is probably ok.  He starts on the slippery slope by not being honest with Prue about his time with her dad.  Later, he doesn't clarify that the flowers delivered are NOT from him.  After that, he accidentally overhears a message from an acquaintance of Prue's that leads him to believe she is having an affair.  He decides to confront his nemesis in a public venue and hits him before realizing how wrong his is about the situation.  An interesting view of how misunderstandings grow in the dark.  Prue and Ivan might be perfect for each other or maybe not, but without more communication, they might never know.  The audiobook is well done by MacLeod Andrews.
