The relationship between her and her husband gets strained when they have a daughter to raise. The wife in question is a writer struggling to write a second novel. Told from the perspective of the wife, the story starts with her meeting the husband and goes from there, spanning years of relationship troubles, work hardships and tiresome motherhood. The story revolves around a wife, a husband, their daughter, and the occasional friend or (past) lover. A protagonist who doesn’t have a name, nor do any of the other characters.
Jenny Offill offers a brutally honest and in-depth view into the mind of her protagonist. Fortunately, that was not the only good thing about Dept. I’ll be honest and say it: the reason I wanted to read this book is because the cover is real pretty. of Speculation by Jenny Offill and the review is written by Tara Byrne. This way anyone who couldn’t be there, can still join in with the fun! Our thirteenth book is Dept. For every book we read during the book club, one of our book club members will write a review.
