About This Book
Martha is a woman who has been slowly destroying her marriage and her relationships for years, consumed by a nameless illness that has never been properly diagnosed. When she is finally given a diagnosis, she must confront the damage done and decide whether healing is possible. A darkly funny, piercingly observed novel about mental illness and love.
