Shahira alturkmani's Reviews > A Lady and Her Husband

It is a novel about marriage differences and social issues in a
straightforward but unusual plot .
A Lady And Her Husband is perhaps not a compulsive page-turner of a book, and it definitely has various ebbs and flows to the narrative, but it is still a fascinating story about differences between men and women.In the case of James and Mary ; He wanted the business to be a success, and, to his credit, an honest success; she wanted that too, but she wanted more that it should make the people who worked for it happy. How were they – James and she – going to surmount these opposing attitudes?
This allows Mary to see another side of her husband. And, like most things, if you look too closely, you’re probably going to see things you don’t want to see. And then comes the point to negotiate their new relationship.
In a twist of revelation ,Mary’s mind spins as she tries to work out how she feels about infidelity and deceit. Is it a forgivable sin? More forgivable for some than others? She also ruminates on the differences between men and women. These are things we are still grappling with in today’s society and our own relationships.

-Why did men exist? Why couldn’t they be trusted? Why couldn’t they keep away from girls? Why did girls ever want to have anything to do with them? Always these troubles on account of men!-

One of the messages I get from this book is that things don’t need to be perfect in order for one to be happy; including a marriage. A good message in a world where we constantly see images of our friends’ and neighbours’ “perfect” lives, and compare them to our own.
