Las punzantes conversaciones de un matrimonio en crisis. Nick Hornby escruta los conflictos de pareja con grandes dosis de ingenio... Tom y Louise tienen un encuentro semanal en un pub londinense: se trata de una cita entre las dos partes de un matrimonio en crisis. Por ahora, viven separados. Quedan en ese bar diez minutos antes de su sesión de terapia matrimonial. Todo parecía ir bien hasta que un desliz generó grietas y afloraron las tensiones. Ahora están intentado reconducir la situación. La novela reproduce los diez minutos previos a las diez sesiones de terapia. El motor de la narración son las conversaciones, cargadas de agudeza, ironía y sinceridad entre Tom y Louise. Una suerte de terapia previa a la terapia, en la que repasan su vida en común y hablan de todo: de sus diferencias y complicidades, del sexo y el amor, de las expectativas y los desengaños... e incluso del Brexit.
Tom and Louise meet in a pub before their couple's therapy appointment. Married for years, they thought they had a stable home life--until a recent incident pushed them to the brink. Going to therapy seemed like the perfect solution. But over drinks before their appointment, they begin to wonder: what if marriage is like a computer? What if you take it apart to see what's in there, but then you're left with a million pieces? Unfolding in the minutes before their weekly therapy sessions, the ten-chapter conversation that ensues is witty and moving, forcing them to look at their marriage--and, for the first time in a long time, at each other.
