In terse tones, author/narrator Elizabeth Crane gives raw insight into the dissolution of a 15-year marriage and what happens afterward. Crane is stunned the day her husband admits point-blank that he is not happy. In a deadpan tone, she then proceeds to recount the ups and downs of their history together. In darkly funny moments she sarcastically speculates on what caused the marriage to fail--was it the furniture choices? Crane's rapid-fire pacing matches the stream-of-consciousness vignettes that stitch this emotional quilt of a story together. Wry and straightforward, Crane's performance creates the sensation that the author/heroine is evolving into a better version of herself right before the listener--despite life's shocks and disappointments.
