Gwendolyn & Eddie weaves a poignant and humorous tale of a 1950s housewife whose well-ordered life takes an unexpected turn when her husband brings home a rascally alcoholic monkey he won in a poker game, leading to four decades of unconventional companionship as she is challenged by the unraveling of her domestic dream as well as her conservative beliefs. This is a novel about the cages we are born into, the ones we create for ourselves, and the ones we impose on those we love.
