A deeply claustrophobic exploration of a woman's mind after her husband announces his desire to separate from here.
I was uncomfortable and tense reading this. This is about a woman in the late 90s, in a different country to the US. The story is something I've heard from my aunts and mother - man leaves you for a younger woman, and you pick up the pieces. I think that I'd be stronger and wouldn't fall apart like Olga, but who knows
