Roman

Zašto lažeš, Jake?

Penelope Mortimer

Neimenovana pripovjedačica u braku je s četvrtim, izrazito dobrostojećim čovjekom. Visoki prihodi služe samo naglašavanju ispraznosti života koji vodi žena lišena kućnih zamki koje su je definirale.

Pripovjedačica, majka više djece, suočava se s osjećajem besmisla i otuđenja unatoč materijalnom blagostanju. Jakeova nevjera i njezina borba s vlastitim identitetom i ulogom supruge i majke čine jezgru priče. Roman istražuje složene dinamike braka, društvene pritiske na žene i psihološke posljedice potisnutih emocija. Kroz introspektivan i sirov narativ, Mortimerova suptilno prikazuje žensku borbu za autonomiju u patrijarhalnom društvu, uz dozu mračnog humora i duboke melankolije. Djelo je značajno po svojoj autentičnoj karakterizaciji i kritici društvenih normi tog vremena.
