"Love, marriage, the whole damn thingall spanned in a witty, tender first novel .With a flavor of Lorrie Moore, graceful, bright, modern writing."Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
O My Darling tells the story of a devoted young couple whose marriage begins to implode when they move into their first house. Though Charlotte and Clark Adair appear to live ordinary lives, their interior worlds are as bold and complex as abstract paintings colored by imagined possibilities, childhood joys, and, more darkly, by deeply buried fears. Even their cherished yellow "dream" house seems permeated with the restless discontents of its previous owners. When Clark rescues a young boy from drowning, a chain of eventssome comic, some harrowingis set in motion, revealing the fault lines of the couple's marriage and individual psyches.
