Mon mari

by Maud Ventura

Maud Ventura's "Mon mari" pulls you into the mind of a woman utterly consumed by her marriage. She's convinced her love for her husband is perfect and eternal, but her actions tell a different story. We follow her meticulously planned interactions, her internal scorekeeping of his 'faults,' and her dark, often hilarious, strategies to keep their romance perpetually in its honeymoon phase. The brilliance of this book is how it balances genuine affection with a truly unsettling, obsessive intensity. You're right there with her, experiencing her anxieties and her sometimes-cruel machinations, all while wondering just how far she'll go to maintain her fabricated ideal. It’s a sharp, darkly funny, and psychologically rich read for anyone who enjoys an unreliable narrator and the unsettling undercurrents of domestic life.
