The Garrick Year by Margaret Drabble

Choked by domesticity and overshadowed by her husband's acting career, Emma is finding that life has reduced her to a supporting role. And when her husband lands his big break at a new theatre company, her want for something more boils over. Quietly radical and fiercely intelligent, The Garrick Year is a sharp and merciless dark comedy about marriage, motherhood and the pull of ambition, told through the eyes of a complicated and fascinating woman at the very end of her tether.
