"Tom and Louise meet in a pub before their couple's therapy appointment. Married for years, they thought they had a stable home life--until a recent incident pushed them to the brink. Going to therapy seemed like the perfect solution. But over drinks before their appointment, they begin to wonder: what if marriage is like a computer? What if you take it apart to see what's in there, but then you're left with a million pieces? Unfolding in the minutes before their weekly therapy sessions, the ten-chapter conversation that ensues is witty and moving, forcing them to look at their marriage--and, for the first time in a long time, at each other"--… (más)

Tom and Louise are a couple whose marriage is slowly disintegrating. This novella focuses on their brief catch-ups in the pub before heading to their weekly couples counselling session.

Hornby's protagonists are a bit too insipid for this concept to work. Tom in particular is nonplussed and phlegmatic to a fault, and Louise comes across as a pernickety pedant. If Hornby wanted to make us care about whether they manage to recover their marriage, he needed to show us the hurt and pain that drove them to the brink, and this stuff is too polite and glib for that.

For ten weeks, married couple Tom and Louise meet at a bar before their couples counseling appointment. The tone of each short visit is different, as they discuss their own relationship as well as speculate about the couple they see leaving the therapist's office before them. Things get worse before they get better; Tom moves out, then back in. Ultimately, they agree that their marriage is worth saving.

"But you can always do that. Imagine a future that's easier than the one you have now." (77) ( )

This was shorter than I thought it would be but that didn't make it any less of a story. A lot of detail is extracted from a couple's failing marriage from one setting: the pub where they meet before they go for a counselling session.

Loved this and read it in one sitting! It's all snappy dialogue and I'd be happy to sit with Louise and Tom through many more weeks of pre-counseling drinks. ( )

Caro Hornby ho letto (quasi) tutti i tuoi libri, ma mi sembra che recentemente la tua verve si sia esaurita..
Anche qui, in questo dialogo tra marito e moglie in crisi, che si legge in un paio di ore, si può leggermente sorridere, ma niente di più. Ben lontani i tempi di Alta Fedeltà.
Non lo consiglio, nemmeno ai suoi fan.. ( )
