Wholesale Sorrow and Bliss : Meg Mason

A Novel | Paperback | Fiction/Family Life / Marriage & Divorce Martha Friel just turned forty. Once, she worked at Vogue and planned to write a novel. Now, she creates internet content. She used to live in a pied-à-terre in Paris. Now she lives in a gated community in Oxford, the only person she knows without a PhD, a baby or both, in a house she hates but cannot bear to leave. But she must leave, now that her husband Patrick—the kind who cooks, throws her birthday parties, who loves her and has only ever wanted her to be happy—has just moved out. Because there’s something wrong with Martha, and she has been for a long time. When she was seventeen, a little bomb went off in her brain, and she was never the same.
