Wifey

"A powerfully written exploration of the rites of power." -Kirkus Reviews

When life as a curiously paired, young married couple in California--in the midst of a growing global, national, and state economic crisis--becomes literally unworkable, Rodney, an earnestly toiling, 25-year-old playboy of a husband, unilaterally determines that he and P.V., his ambitious but naive, 22-year-old exotic wife, should relocate to Texas. So P.V., a struggling sophomore realtor and avid foodie, and Rodney, a newly unemployed marketer and sports addict, sell virtually everything they own and embark upon a downsized existence in the heart of North Texas--Dallas. But an eerie and horrifying morning dream that P.V. previously experienced becomes a dark and ever-unfurling, pain-filled prophesy that ultimately threatens the very foundations of their humanity. Sex, depravity, despair, and an uneven pavement of good intentions lead to a black, one-way road with a shocking and hair-raising end. Vivid, haunting, and provocative, and equally lyrical and unconventional, "Wifey" is Wellesley College and Boston University School of Law grad Fey Ugokwe's first novella.
