My Husband

At forty, she has an enviable life: a successful career, a stunning appearance, a beautiful home in the suburbs, two healthy children and, most importantly, the perfect husband. After fifteen years together, she is still in love with him. But she has never been sure that his feelings are mutual. After all, would a man truly in love ever let go of his wife's hand when they are sitting on the sofa?

Determined to maintain their perfect relationship, she meticulously prepares for every date they have, always taking care to make her actions seem spontaneous. She watches him closely, noting every mistake and punishing him accordingly to help him improve. And she tests him, setting traps to make sure he still loves her as much as he did when they first met.

Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far...

Winner of the First Novel Prize in France in 2021, O Meu Marido builds on the premise of successes such as Em Parte Incerta and Destinos e Fúrias — How well can you really know your spouse? — and adds the chilling tension and obsession of Tu. The result is an irresistible read — compelling, tense and gripping, imbued with subversive humour and told in a completely original voice that makes it unforgettable.
