We are not ourselves a novel

Thomas, Matthew 1975- (Author). Winningham, Mare. (Added Author). Simon & Schuster Audio (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: When Eileen meets Ed Leary, a scientist whose bearing is nothing like those of the men she grew up with, she thinks she's found the perfect partner. They marry, and Eileen quickly discovers Ed doesn't aspire to the same, ever bigger, stakes in the American Dream. Eileen encourages her husband to want more: a better job, better friends, a better house, but as years pass it becomes clear that his growing reluctance is part of a deeper psychological shift.
