- Summary
- "In The Dangerous Husband, they meet and almost immediately fall in love. Like everyone, they have been alone. He is perfect for her - charming and sexy and awkward and sweet. They are forty; it is time for them to marry and shelter each other."--BOOK JACKET.
- "When the honeymoon ends, as honeymoons always do, real life begins, with its surprises. He trips up stairs, falls going down. He cooks a tasty dinner and the kitchen ends up looking like a slaughterhouse. Absorbed in sexual experimentation, he shatters the coffee table. He tenderly wrenches her neck; he breaks her arm. "It was turning out that my husband's dishevelment was incomparable, potent, ramifying. It could destroy whole little worlds.""--BOOK JACKET.
- "It will surely destroy her. Unless she can kill him first."--BOOK JACKET.
