About This Book

A suburban marital farce follows a husband whose attempt to please his wife with a new kitchen appliance is derailed when the ordered pressure cooker is mistakenly replaced by a dangerous, government-contracted device. The story charts rising domestic panic and workplace gossip as neighbors and office colleagues react, friends try to help, and the couple struggles to reconcile pride, debt, and safety concerns. Satirical observations on consumerism, technophobia, and social status drive a brisk, comic narrative of escalating misunderstandings and containment efforts.
