Coles An Odd Couple: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Mrs. Tremenheere's life is shaken by a husband who treats separation as a casual threat and discovers too late that his wife may take him at his word. In the polished, fog-bound calm of their respectable home, Charles and Ada Tremenheere wage a battle of pride, duty, and incompatible convictions, each misreading the other's silence as weakness or defiance. What begins as a domestic quarrel widens into a painful reckoning over marriage, gender expectations, education, and the meaning of honor. Around them, the family circle grows tense and revealing: the children's innocent games, especially Vera's imaginative doll-play and questions about "papa," expose the hidden anxieties beneath adult restraint. Charles returns to a carefully prepared dinner hoping for reconciliation, but even warmth at table cannot erase the strain. When the parents' conflict finally surfaces in earnest, the household becomes a stage for jealousy, social tact, and uneasy alliances, with Vera, Edward, Miss Campbell, and the polished outsider Oswald Fane each drawing the fracture lines into sharper focus. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
