Sara Roncero-Menendez | 8 comments So this is all I remember about the book:

Plot: A man is becoming a hermit in his home after his wife dies. He often reminisces about his dead wife who was very abusive towards him in hindsight. He believes he can still hear her and he finds all these terrible notes she left about wanting to hurt and kill him. One note I remember distinctly was about her rubbing his head in order to find a soft spot so she could kill him that way. At the end of the novel, firefighters find him in his home dead, having shoved paper into his mouth until he died.

Style: Weird fiction - the setting is realistic, but the narrative is confused. Definitely for adults and NOT YA. Very dark and twisty novel, unreliable narrator.

Cover: The paperback version of the cover was mostly red, it looked the title (which is one word I think) is nested amongst garbage or papers.

Read: Sometime in early 2014, was not a new release at the time.

Sara, what's the time period and location (country, region, big city/small town) or the city?

Can you tell us more about the couple - their ages, jobs/skills/interests, kids, family/friends, how they met, how long were they married, etc.?

How did she die? (Spoilers are okay - just give us a clear warning before revealing a spoiler, or use the html spoiler tag.)

The time period is modern. The couple is older - middle aged at least. No kids, not sure how long they were married. I remember it being set in America. The wife is dead at the beginning of the novel, so no spoilers, but I believe it was some sort of accident? Very unexpected, at least.

Also, I remember there was direct on the cover, so maybe it wasn't garbage, maybe plants?

Sara ~~

You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 180 where fewer eyes will see it. Get back in the game! Bump!
You can do this by typing a new comment at the end of the thread, or even by typing the word "bump."
Good luck!
