Thriller/HarperVia/Hardcover/272 pages/$28.99/Amazon SG Maud Ventura’s 2021 debut novel My Husband begins with a statement that is often a harbinger of trouble in paradise: “We need to find a moment to talk.”
My Husband was first published in France and won in 2021 the Prix du Premier Roman, which is awarded to the best French debut novel each year.The narrator recalls and scrutinises the happenings of the past week leading up to her husband’s foreboding utterance. Her synaesthesia renders her physical perception unreliable. It serves also as a metaphor for her erratic emotions: “It’s as though each day of the week places a filter in front of my eyes. Each morning, my entire landscape shifts in hue.”
Ventura exploits the introspective first-person perspective to its fullest ironic effect. The depth of the narrator’s internality contrasts with her attempts at communication with her husband.
