This book starts off about a traditional marriage in which both parties have become complacent with each other. The male in the couple is extremely sarcastic--in a humorous and entirely British sort of way. The way that the couple feels about each other reflects the way that so many of my serious relationships have felt at the time. Contemptuous and boring.
But then the book changes entirely, when the husband meets a spiritual healer and changes his personality into being as good of a person as he can be. He gives away money, takes in homeless people, etc. The remainder of the book is about the wife's frustration with this change, and her debate of whether or not to stay or go.
The book goes nowhere from there. I was entertained by the first part of the book, but the rest of the book is pretty boring and there really isn't a conclusion.
