From the outside, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she's never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.

Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, charting every mistake and punishing him accordingly to help him improve. And she tests him - setting traps to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met.

Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far . . .

With the surprise of Gone Girl, the bleakness of The Talented Mr Ripley and the sinister charm of the Netflix thriller You, My Husband is a bold and exhilarating story of passion and the dark secrets that lie beneath a seemingly healthy marriage.

'One of the most daring, provocative, unnervingly intimate thrillers I've read in years. Few writers besides Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious fun' A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Eleştirmen yorumları

An unsettling novel about the ultimate unknowability of your spouse and a sure-footed addition to a canon that might include Jane Eyre and Gone Girl . . . Gripping reading
An absolute banger! Paranoid, claustrophobic, and totally addictive, My Husband will give you whiplash. It's my new obsession: from the very first page, I couldn't leave it alone (Alice Slater)
There’s simply no way of telling how far she’ll go, and her increasingly volatile unreliability as a narrator makes the story all the more riveting (Observer)
This is not a conventional thriller as such, but there is plenty of suspense and the stakes are high. A bestseller and prize winner in France, this cool examination of the balance of power in a marriage comes over as the screwed-up offspring of Marguerite Duras’s The Lover. That there is a final twist is the only predictable aspect of a skilfully manipulated psychological drama. Emily (Brontë) in Paris
My Husband is a clever, unsettling and, at times, funny tale of unhinged marital devotion
Irresistible and delightful (Amélie Nothomb)
The exceptional My Husband has everything I look for in a novel: chic, beguiling and deeply unhinged (Juno Dawson)
I haven't been hooked by a voice like this in a long time. A heady intricate terrifying read (Daisy Johnson)
In this wry, psychologically complex debut, a meticulously manicured wife is obsessed with her husband. For the past 13 years, she's made a science of meeting his needs, putting them before her own or even their children's. Her love is a stranglehold; something's gotta give. The winner of France's First Novel Prize, this riveting emotional thriller requires serious willpower to not devour in a single sitting
Shortlisted for four literary prizes, My Husband humorously deals with the complexity of love. A salient and funny novel about a marital face-to-face, My Husband is one of the most demanded books of the rentrée littéraire. [...] What if you always loved your spouse as if it was the first day ? The wild idea of novelist Maud Ventura

I enjoyed it but expected more from the ending. Also wish I connected more with the characters. It was ok.

It was ok

One of the most interesting and unique books I’ve come across in a while. Perfectly matched narration. Sometimes it drags on a little but the payoff at the end is great

Everything worth it for the end

I can see this is a great portrayal of obsessive love and the twist was excellent and unexpected. I did find it dragged though, I wasn't gripped, despite being interested in the ending. Glad I listened, don't think I'll reread though

Very good for what it is

Great suspenseful story - brilliantly read . You are constantly waiting for big reveal and it doesn’t disappoint but you have to wait till the end . Suited audible

Loved it

I predicted the twist, so painfully obvious. But the obsession was enjoyable to listen to. The attention to details was entertaining.

No so twisted after all
