Who? Him. The Husband. Hero. Hunk. The Boy Next Door. The Paramour. The Je t'adore. Behind every famous man is a great woman--and from the quick-tongued Mrs. Darwin to the lascivious Frau Freud, from the adoring Queen Kong to the long-suffering wife of the Devil himself, each one steps from her counterpart's shadow to tell her side of the story in this irresistible collection. Original, subversive, full of imagination and quicksilver wit, this is Carol Ann Duffy at her beguiling best.
Exploring the complexities of love and self-acceptance, this narrative delves into the life of a woman grappling with her identity and relationships. Through her journey, she confronts societal expectations and personal insecurities, ultimately striving for authenticity. The story weaves themes of vulnerability, resilience, and the quest for genuine connection, offering a poignant reflection on what it means to be truly lovable in a world that often imposes unrealistic standards.
