The Good Husband
The Good Husband | Gail Godwin

Mates are not always matches, and matches are not always mates,' pronounces Magda Danvers. Years ago, dazzling, domineering Magda swept the shy, virginal Francis into one of the most extraordinary marriages imaginable. Now, as she lies dying, Francis's role as the Good Husband is put to the most extreme test. Moving from the Deep South to Eastern Europe and the cathedral towns of England, this is a rich and rewarding novel with the scope and all the moral force of George Eliot.

So - Mr K excelled himself today. For my birthday he organised a bookshop lock in at my local store! Just me and the wonderful owner Mrs Harris who made me drinks, queued up Happy Birthday on the speakers and then let me browse the shelves for an hour all on my own. It was heaven! And I left with a rather heavy bag!

TEArificbooks Oh that sounds amazing. My hubby and kids got me absolutely nothing for my 40th birthday a few days ago. You are lucky. 2y

Today is my 14th wedding anniversary and my sweet husband knows me so well. His coworkers asked if he‘d ordered flowers to which he replied that he knew I would rather have books. 😍😍 I‘ve got 14 new books headed my way! #myprincegetsme
