There was a joke at the funeral about her late husband. Nothing unusual in itself; if the listener were not a journalist, the narrator would not be held responsible for the death of her beloved husband. That's why Sara Adelman tells in detail how the path of love and suffering went on with her life partner. From the first meeting in a dim bar and the first child to be born with an unexpected disability, to the boredom that threatens to overwhelm you after several years of marriage, she describes to the unexperienced writer how everything could have gone as far as it is today.
