A woman suddenly stops eating meat after a disturbing dream, a decision that shocks her husband and disrupts their marriage. What begins as a personal change quickly escalates into family conflict, as her behavior grows increasingly distant from the expectations placed on her.
As pressure from those around her mounts, the situation affects not only her marriage but also her relationships with her sister and brother-in-law, who each react in their own way. Told through shifting perspectives, the story traces how one choice ripples through a family and exposes underlying tensions.
A psychological novel about control, identity, and the consequences of refusing to conform to those around you.
