"Quiet Desperation" is the story of 58 year old Heathcliff Defour, a man fast approaching retirement with a lot of 'luggage'.
His life is dull and his marriage unfulfilling. For the past 35 years he has been married to Merlin, a controlling, bitter woman who is critical of everything, especially him.
Whilst driving to the market one morning, Merlin in her usual manner begins to annoy Heathcliff and they begin to quarrel.
But it is when Heathcliff finally expresses what really is on his mind, he loses more than he is prepared to handle.
