In this suspenseful and darkly funny debut novel, a sophisticated
French woman spends her life obsessing over her perfect
husband—but can their marriage survive her passionate love?
“One of the most daring, provocative, unnervingly intimate
thrillers I’ve read in years. Few writers besides Ruth
Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such
sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious
fun.” —A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman
in the Window At forty years old, she has an enviable life: a
successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the
suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal
husband. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with
him. But she’s never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.
Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously
prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make
her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, charting
every mistake and punishing him accordingly to help him improve.
And she tests him—setting traps to make sure that he still loves
her just as much as he did when they first met. Until one day she
realizes she may have gone too far . . . The winner of France’s
First Novel Prize in 2021, My Husband builds on the premise of hits
like Gone Girl and Fates and Furies—how well can you really know
your spouse?—and adds the tension and creepy obsession of You.
The result is an irresistible read—compelling, tense, and
engaging, infused with sly subversive humor, and told in an utterly
original voice that makes it unforgettable. Translated from the
French by Emma Ramadan
