Parks, Tim

Opis

Thomas and Mary have been married for thirty years. They have two children, a dog, a house in the suburbs. But after years of drifting apart, things - finally - come to a head. This title recounts what happens when youthful devotion has long given way to dog walking, separate bed times, and tensions over who left the fridge door open.

Recenzje

In this darkly funny work, Parks offers a story that doesn't shy away from the complexity of relationships, and from the ineffability, indeed, impossibility, of the unmade decision. Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi Independent
