A clever, timely novel about a relationship, and infidelity, this is of true spirituality, perception and reality from the writer of approximately Soulmates: A Novel Sad Desk Salad, when a scorned ex-wife tries to puzzle out the bits of her husband’s mysterious death at a yoga retreat and their lifestyle together.
It’s been two years because the divorce, and Dana offers moved on. She’s killing it at her law firm, she’s never looked better, thanks to all those healthful meals she cooks, and she’s disposed of Ethan’s ratty aged plaid recliner. She hardly considers her husband-ex-husband-anymore, or about how the man she’d known since college ran away to the Southwest having a yoga trainer, spouting religious claptrap that Dana still can’t comprehend.
However when she views Ethan’s picture splashed over the front page of the New York Post-‘Nama-Slay: Yoga Couple Found Dead in New Mexico Cave’-Dana discovers she hasn’t fully let go of Ethan or the past. The article implies that it had been a murder-suicide, and Ethan’s at fault. How could the man she once adored so deeply be considered a killer? Restless to find answers that might help her finally to release, Dana begins to dig into the secret surrounding Ethan’s death. Sifting through the hints of his life, Dana discovers herself back the last many years of their marriage . and discovers that their relationship-like Ethan’s death-wasn’t what it appeared to be.
A novel of marriage, meditation, and all the spaces among, Soulmates is a page-turning mystery, a delicious satire of our feel-good religious culture, and a nuanced look at contemporary relationships by among the sharpest writers working today.
