I've just finished reading this book. The story line was quite slow at the beginning, but it became more interesting as I went along.... It was about a late-thirty couple with a toddler, struggling to balance their life between work & family.
The story reminds us for not to underestimate of those small, little annoying things which at some point might blow the tantrum in marriage. The misunderstanding of her husband having an affair was the last straw for the wife to get out from the house. Desperate to save his marriage, the husband enrols at the 'School for Husbands', a residential college which claim can transform pathetic partners into husbands from heaven. This part was quite funny, the consultant lady used bombastic terms for the lesson modules. One of them that I could recall, "Retail Environment Temporary Personnel Loss", otherwise known as 'Husbands Buggering Off in Tesco". Her explaination was that nos. of wives cite the way their husband vanish the moment they enter large retail outlet. This sounds familiar...
Apart of miscommunication and the feeling of getting less attention & affection from each other, the way that the wife's mother interrupted in their marriage had drawn their relationship apart. Other factors such as non-conducive work environment, nasty colleagues and the wife's pathetic ex-boyfriend which indirectly gave hard time to them...
Well, a good book for the husbands actually...
