Look how blissfully happy the gorgeous heroine is on the cover of this book! Everything in her life is joyful, the future is wonderful, and her doting husband adores her.
The rule of vintage book covers definitely applies to this one. The H is a horror and she is subjected to extended periods of misery, loneliness, public humiliation, and deliberate cruelty.
Make sure you don't read this if you are feeling -- what am I saying? Don't read this.
