Ebook: The Slippage

A wry and wistful new novel of marriage, lust, and disconnection, from the author of WHAT HE'S POISED TO DO. William and Louisa Day are a suburban husband and wife with no children confronting the question of what their relationship means to them, and if and how it will survive. One day, after weeks of bizarre behaviour - disappearing in the middle of parties, hoarding mail - Louisa approaches William with a simple appeal: "I want you to build us a house." Caught off-guard by the request, William is suddenly forced to reckon with his own hopes and desires, his growing discomfort at home and work, and, in the end, the fight-or-flight ultimatum his wife has posed for their future.
