Ophelia, a professor of Dante, is stricken when she discovers that her husband Andy has been cheating on her with a winsome colleague. What follows is Ophelia' s figurative descent into hell as she obsessively tracks her subjects, performs surveillance in her beat-up Volvo, and moves into the property next door to Amber' s, which has gone into foreclosure. She spies on the lovers, growing more and more estranged from reality. Andy' s betrayal reawakens the earlier trauma of abandonment by her mother at the age of eight. When Andy and Amber become engaged, Ophelia snaps. The story is a jailhouse confessional, a dark comedy, an oeuvre of women' s rage, a suspenseful revenge fantasy, and a moving portrait of one woman' s psychological breakdown.

Industry Reviews

"Think suspense and thriller. LaHines's fascinating narrator, Ophelia, is decidedly pathological...she's also sympathetic, humorous, intelligent-a deeply damaged woman telling her tale to a prison psychiatrist in preparation for a hearing before a parole board, but it's not a confession." --Baum on Books, NPR Podcast

"Carol LaHines' chilling novel chronicles a jilted woman's descent into madness." -- Associated Press Review

"A heart-wrenching account of one soon-to-be-ex-wife's psychological breakdown... a compulsive read." --Katrina Biele, reviewer for Medium.com
