Summary:
Paris. Tokyo. Shanghai. Seoul. Ems Awful Good Fortune is part global romp, part dysfunctional marriage. Em is not simply marriedits more like shes handcuffed to her husbands international career. Sure, they might be velvet cuffs, but still cuffed. What else can she do but stomp her way through global capitals in search of her own identity?
Part dysfunctional marriage, part global romp, this is not your typical expat story. Ems Awful Good Fortune is a deeply personal, marriage coming-apart-at-the-seams look at the struggle between a womans desire for partnership and her need for identity. Fueled by twin demons, love and rage, Em stomps her way around the world coming to terms with the fantasy of having it all: husband, kids, and a career. Em is not just married; its more like being handcuffed to her husbands international career. Her life reads like a fantasy, bouncing between Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Seoul. Butthe good fortune is all her husbands: Em is just the tagalong wife.
Maxfields compelling, non-linear story explores the expatriate lifestyle through the lens of a crumbling marriage, while at the same time tracing the lasting impact of sexual assault and PTSD. Ems journey exposes the dark corners of this seemingly privileged world: loneliness, depression, infidelity, and loss of career. An empowering, uncomfortably funny narrative about compromise that every woman should read. As Em begins to value her needs before those of her husbands career, she stops letting herself be dragged along for the rideand ultimately emerges triumphant.
