On the surface, Grace and Jack seem to have a perfect marriage and are fully involved. Jack is a successful lawyer who protects battered women, while Grace is a perfect little housewife with a green thumb and cooking skills that rival Gordon Ramsay. But behind closed doors do not always appear. Grace and Jack are skeptically never separated. It seems that Jack always puts his hand on her elbow or back. People may think this is a sign of feelings, but maybe more? Why did Grace's friend have seen her without Jack? Can the couple be hidden under the secret of a closed door?
I have been seeing this book in the store, on Goodreads, and recommended by friends in my book club. I finally picked it up and snuggled it on the bed with the literary cat, devour the book. Everything else has disappeared. I can hardly hear the text messages or even the music I played. I am lost in this story, I am not doing enough. Everything I saw on the Internet made me very interested, and then once I started it exceeded my expectations.
I am a bit tired of reading it because I am not sure if there will be actual abuse, sometimes it is difficult for me to deal with it, but in all the comments, I decided to see how dark the book actually is. I can honestly say that there is no thorough physical abuse, which is psychological. Jack understands what is hidden in his perfect home with fear and premonition about what will happen next, and the joy of trying to escape and pretend to be the perfect wife of a perfect wife.
Paris has the ability to attract readers from the beginning of the story. The writing in Paris is very exciting, there are many quotes and moments that make the readers a bit scornful, even though this is a very serious novel, such as Millie claims to dislike "Jorj Kooney" [George Clooney] here are some samples of Paris ' ; wrote from the book:
"We went downstairs. In the hall, he took my coat from the closet and put my hand in and opened it. When driving outside, he took the door for me and waited for me to go in." He is like him. Keeping it behind me, I can't help but think that this is such a sadistic bastard, it is a shame because he has excellent manners."
"Then, when he drank in the voice of fear and smelled it, he hoped he could leave her there forever."
Paris has a great way to describe every emotion, every feeling, every interaction and subtle details with her words. She does not hesitate to this novel, without any filling information. It wanders back and forth between the present and the past, but it does not confuse the continuity of the novel, and it is easy to keep up with and keep up with what happened and when. I not only like the wisdom of Grace, but also like Millie. I like to see a serious disability like Down syndrome being portrayed as very clever and capable of doing a lot of things. I think this is something we need to see more often to help raise awareness of terrible stereotypes. End, my gosh, it really makes this book.
So far, this is probably the best book I have read this year, and I highly recommend it to those who are looking for this good book. I can't wait to get another book.
