The opening of the novel introduces a deeply disturbed man who is attempting
to process the recent death of his wife, whose body lies on the table in a state of distress. He is portrayed as both introspective and overwhelmed, oscillating between accusations directed at his wife and attempts at self-justification. As he walks through his home, struggling to gather his thoughts, he recalls memories that shed light on their tumultuous relationship.
