About This Book

A three-act domestic drama set during wartime follows a married woman and her household as scarcity forces conversations about love, marriage, and money. Family members, a friend and servants propose practical schemes, courtship as economic exchange, and social posturing to secure stability, while the protagonist worries about aging and emotional authenticity. Everyday domestic scenes and sharp exchanges reveal compromises, manipulations and conflicting ideals, using household tensions to examine how material need reshapes intimacy and moral choices without resolving the underlying social pressures.
