Our Elizabeth: A Humour Novel

In this witty domestic comedy, a self‑aware narrator chronicles the trials of married life with a blend of sarcasm and affection. She confesses her culinary catastrophes, while her husband Henry turns every household chore into a slapstick disaster, from dropping coal to scalding himself on boiling water. Their once‑ideal partnership, built on shared quirks and mutual ineptitude at golf and gramophones, begins to fray under the weight of endless dishes and laundry.

When a stern‑looking woman from the Registry Office arrives at their door, the narrator senses a turning point that could upend their domestic routine. The unexpected visit promises bureaucratic meddling in a marriage already teetering on the brink of comic chaos. Listeners are invited to follow the couple’s attempts to keep their humor intact as they confront the absurdities of everyday life.
