Restaurant Critic's Wife

Lila Soto has a master’s degree that’s gathering dust, a work-obsessed husband, two kids, and lots of questions about how exactly she ended up here.



In their new city of Philadelphia, Lila’s husband, Sam, takes his job as a restaurant critic a little too seriously. To protect his professional credibility, he’s determined to remain anonymous. Soon his preoccupation with anonymity takes over their lives as he tries to limit the family’s contact with anyone who might have ties to the foodie world. Meanwhile, Lila craves adult conversation and some relief from the constraints of her homemaker role. With her patience wearing thin, she begins to question everything: her decision to get pregnant again, her break from her career, her marriage—even if leaving her ex-boyfriend was the right thing to do. As Sam becomes more and more fixated on keeping his identity secret, Lila begins to wonder if her own identity has completely disappeared—and what it will take to get it back.

Lila Soto are un master care strange praf, un sot obsedat de munca, doi copii si multe intrebari despre cum a ajuns exact aici. In noul lor oras Philadelphia, sotul lui Lila, Sam, isi ia locul de munca ca critic de restaurant un pic prea serios. Pentru a-si proteja credibilitatea profesionala, este hotarat sa ramana anonim.
