Dept. of Speculation is by Jenny Offill. A charming realistic fiction book about marriage: the good, the bad, and the ugly. They referred to their love as "Dept. of Speculation" to represent all of the mysteries their future contained. Then they got married, had a child and tried to juggle jobs, bed bugs, lice, rodents, childcare, and all of the other everyday trials of married life. When their marriage is on the verge of destruction, the wife tries to look back and figure out how they arrived at this breaking point and where they will go from here.
