A 1980s marriage seemingly very strong till the wife decides to end it. Her husband bewildered and then getting progressively angrier by the day, refuses to move out of the home he has painstakingly built from scratch. The retaliation between the couple starts out as trivial until you know it’s a fight to the death, as it becomes vitriolic on both sides till the tragic end.
The story highlights how much value we place on material possessions and in this case any shred of humanity and goodness are left behind. It is a stark reminder to everyone not to get too attached to anything. The book was harsh to read, and frightening because it is very probable.
