section: "Eliza" by Barry Pain is a humorous story that looks into the everyday life of a married couple in the early 1900s. Told from the husband's viewpoint, the book playfully explores his relationship with Eliza as they deal with social rules, money issues, and their own strange habits. The story kicks off with the husband wondering about who he is and how his marriage works, showing he wants to live a classy life but finds it hard because Eliza sees things differently. Funny talks, like a debate over calling cards and what they mean, highlight how the couple doesn't always understand each other or agree on what's important. This funny take on regular life hints that the book will touch on love, finding yourself, and the silliness of home life, all in a fun and smart way.
