Zašto lažeš, Jake?

Zašto lažeš, Jake?

Penelope Mortimer

The unnamed narrator is married to a fourth, extremely wealthy man. The high income only serves to emphasize the futility of a life led by a woman deprived of the domestic trappings that defined her.

The narrator, a mother of several children, struggles with a sense of meaninglessness and alienation despite her material well-being. Jake's infidelity and her struggle with her own identity and role as a wife and mother form the core of the story. The novel explores the complex dynamics of marriage, the societal pressures on women, and the psychological consequences of repressed emotions. Through an introspective and raw narrative, Mortimer subtly portrays women's struggle for autonomy in a patriarchal society, with a dose of dark humor and deep melancholy. The work is notable for its authentic characterization and critique of the social norms of the time.
