Odile Sarkin has stood at the edge of her husband's evenings forty-four times. On a Thursday in a banqueting office she reads the seating plan for his firm's twenty-fifth anniversary through a plastic sleeve, and finds herself at position five of the top table, written in his own fountain pen, as a plus-one.
Not her name. Not Mrs Sarkin, which she would have taken, and which she has thought about a great deal since. The plus sign had been gone over twice, because the nib had not started.
She is a conference interpreter and she is very good, in a trade where nobody has ever heard of her husband. She stops going to the evenings. Then she stops going home. Then she takes the work she has been turning down for five years because it never suited the calendar.
Whit begins to introduce her — too late, and at first as his wife. It costs him nothing until the night he says her name and her profession and leaves his own part out.
She does take him back. Much later, in another country, and on terms nobody in either family would have predicted: two homes, and about six weeks a year in the same one. It is a happy ending and the book plays it as one.
A closed-door marriage-in-crisis romance about a neglected and ignored wife, a man who introduced everybody except her, and a woman who ends the book saying her own name into a microphone while he sits in the hall.
Book 3 of Marriage on Paper. Each book follows a different couple and can be read on its own.
