Think of the children! Due to the limitations of first person, the tensions are higher. You almost want to cheer him on and you certainly don’t want him to get caught. Some men buy chocolate and roses to please their partner. Despite his role as an accomplice, it’s tempting to absolve him. Written in first-person, “My Lovely Wife” makes it difficult not to get attached to the narrator. Gradually, the picturesque suburban life that this couple has built up is starting to crumble. The narrator realizes that his wife has been keeping secrets from him. Instead, the autopsy reports that she’s been dead for only a few weeks. She was supposed to be dead for over a year. Who would suspect a duo? But when one of the victims is discovered, something doesn’t add up. It’s a delicious, sexy secret between them. His wife would capture the aforementioned woman, then murder her. The next day, he lets his wife know if the woman is “right.” If she is, the events progress rapidly. By the end of the hour, he’s invited to spend the night. Their routine is like this: He would meet his women at bars, acting as a non-threatening deaf man. He’s the kind of guy that would have a nice word for everyone. The narrator sounds pretty much like your everyday man. It’s cheering at the sidelines for each one of his daughter’s soccer game. It’s having a movie night with his family every week. For the narrator of Samantha Downing’s “My Lovely Wife,” it’s stopping at the the EZ-Go gas station two miles from his home to get a cup of coffee.

Almost abandoned the book but Nao's story was compelling enough to hang on. I listened to this and every time Nao's part was over and Ruth's story came up, I groaned. The worst parts were Ruth's dreams!!! Oh lord how annoying, how iffy and again how bloody irritatingly annoying.Ĭut out all the Ruth sections and this would have been a much better book. Found Ruth self pitying and bloody boring. Then the Ruth sections would pop up and it was like going from brilliance to silly trivialities in milliseconds. The reason it was going to get a great review was the fact that the Nao's sections were well written, dispensing a lot of cultural information without sounding like a lecture. How bad is it? At first I thought it was a joke within the book. It's not the spiritual realm that's the problem, it's the fact that it comes from almost nowhere and it sounds forced and ridiculous, very unlike Nao's meeting of her ancestors. It's ridiculous! Some psychic, whimsical, Then Ruth's dream sequence comes up and ugh it damn near ruins the bloody book. Till about the second half of part 3, I was all set to give this rave reviews 'cause Nao's story was so compelling and well written plus there wasn't enough of Ruth's woeful tone to grate on the nerves.
