Marriage is constructed from lies. Mostly harmless ones. Things left unsaid. If you voiced every thought about your partner that crosses your mind daily, you'd burn the whole thing down. She never lied outright. She just chose not to mention it.
That's the engine of this novel — what we conceal from the people closest to us. Not deception exactly, but strategic silence. Groff tears into a marriage from two perspectives, and what you think you know in the first half gets demolished in the second.
