Book Discussion: My Husband by Maud Ventura

This month, the Park Slope Library's adult book discussion group is reading My Husband by Maud Ventura.

Kirkus says, 

"Ventura’s first novel explores love’s darker alleyways through the eyes of a 40-year-old Frenchwoman who's obsessed with her husband... A modern Emma Bovary aiming her passionate energy toward her husband instead of a lover, she knows 'I have to control myself' to avoid appearing 'unseemly'... Insecure in her husband’s moneyed, bourgeois world, she relies on organization and rules. Writing about control as much as love, Ventura describes a marriage from hell that works, however oddly."
