I am in the minority here who didn’t like The Meek One. I just really didn’t enjoy the story about a man who is so detached from his young wife that he drives her to suicide. The writing is good but I really can not stand to read about all this psychological abuse.

She might pause her audiobook just long enough to discuss books online.
