verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ New Yorkers Graham and Audra have a life that looks pretty perfect from the outside. He’s an attorney. She’s a part-time graphic designer and full-time mom to their gifted ten-year-old son, Matthew. Their apartment is lovely, their schedules are full, and they even seem to (mostly) find each other charming after twelve years of marriage. Graham and his wife, Audra, live in “parallel universes”. Audra is optimistic, garrulous and popular. Graham is taciturn; his inner monologue, which Katherine Heiny’s third-person narrative dips in and out of, is sardonic and sarcastic. Yet the pair find a “thin spot in the fabric of their worlds” where they can work to create an ordinary life for their 10-year-old son Matthew, who has Asperger’s. They accompany him to origami club, engineer his social life and network with other parents. A current of understated humour runs throughout this book. Moments of tenderness, pain and disappointment consequently hit hard; we feel for Graham, who treasures moments with Matthew that are “reassuringly normal”. Heiny’s characters – charming, flawed, relatable, tragic, hilarious – are faultlessly constructed, lingering long in the memory like family or friends.
