A witty, satirical look at marriage, money, and social ambition in a fashionable New York household.

A sharp, lighthearted novel follows Mr. and Mrs. Rasher as they navigate a new, showy home, demanding pieties, and the frothy pretensions of city life. Through brisk dialogue and comic misadventures, the couple’s temptations, tensions, and turn-of-the-century foibles come to life with humor and warmth.

The book blends domestic comedy with social commentary, offering a window into how love, pride, and vanity clash in a world of parlor lectures and glittering fronts. Readers will recognize familiar scenes of pushing for status, balancing work and family, and finding humor amid everyday trials.

Witty exchanges and misadventures in a newly furnished, style-conscious home
A humorous prime-time view of marriage, money, and social pretensions
Crisp, accessible storytelling with memorable characters and punchy dialogue
A blend of domestic humor and social observation that’s inviting and entertaining

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven humor, social satire, and period fiction with a comic bite.
