Margaret Greene is thirty-eight, exhausted, and tired of scrubbing other people’s messes especially the ones her husband leaves behind. Her marriage has turned into a quiet war fought over dinners, dishes, and half-finished sentences. Faith used to comfort her, but now even her prayers sound like complaints. Then one evening, while cleaning, Margaret rediscovers something she hid years ago: a book filled with strange old words that once made her feel powerful.James, her well-meaning but hopeless husband, just wants to be loved. He writes her poems, cooks nothing, and hopes the right words might fix everything, if only he knew what those words were. Darkly funny, unsettling, and heartbreakingly familiar, For Something to Become Nothing is a story about marriage, faith, and the quiet power that lives in ordinary women. Perfect for readers who love dark domestic fiction, Irish gothic tales, and stories about women who’ve had enough.
