Judy has prepared Johnny's slippers for him upon his arrival home from work, the kitchen is immaculately clean, and the rooms are well-aired. However, this is not the 1950s; rather, it is a modern arrangement agreed upon by the two of them. Despite their best efforts, Judy and Johnny find themselves struggling to fully immerse themselves in the dream, as they adhere to specific roles and strive for a perfectly ordered life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClothes, furniture, and even a (faulty) fridge from the 1950s are carefully curated to create the illusion of a bygone era. Judy takes on the role of the quintessential housewife, meticulously maintaining the home and caring for her family. Johnny, on the other hand, assumes the role of the supportive husband, providing for his wife and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, as they navigate their 21st-century existence within the confines of their 1950s-inspired world, they begin to realize the challenges and complexities that come with such a lifestyle. The appliances break down, technology fails them, and societal norms clash with their expectations. Despite these obstacles, Judy and Johnny remain committed to their arrangement, determined to make it work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough their struggles, they discover the importance of communication, compromise, and embracing each other's unique qualities. They learn to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and the joy of living in the moment, even in the midst of chaos. Home, I'm Darling is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships, the pursuit of happiness, and the power of imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 124g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 196 x 128 x 17 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350275492\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LauraWade","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094172037370,"sku":"9781350275492","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8e03309b4f1c52bf5b619f7a500cd839.jpg?v=1639023347","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/home-im-darling","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
