Jack is an impoverished artist who creates few accessible art. Elizabeth is a fugitive from a fabulously rich family, from which she turns. Their windows are separated only by a narrow lane. For weeks and months, they look at each other, admiring and believing that the person in the window opposite will never be interested in those who are watching them. Both decided to start with a clean slate in Chicago and are now trying to integrate into a world that is alien to them. Both are endlessly lonely and dream of meeting a soul mate, unaware that the soul mate lives in the next house.
Twenty years later, Jack and Elizabeth are a respectable couple going through a midlife crisis. But they remain the same restless and lonely dreamers as in their youth, and still fight the demons they once wanted to escape. Trying to understand themselves, each of them begins to dig deep into their own soul, risking losing the best they have - each other.
A poignant and witty novel about marriage and the bonds that keep people together. Discussing the absurdities of modern society, Wellness ironically and touchingly reinterprets the classic love story. How and what do people say about themselves, about their feelings, about their relationships? This is both a very funny and almost heartbreaking book, and definitely a really smart and profound one.
