Story of a Marriage - Andrew Sean Greer

Descriere Story of a Marriage - Andrew Sean Greer

A Today show Summer Reads Pick, The Story of a Marriage is set in a climate of fear and repression--political, sexual, and racial--and portrays three people trapped by the confines of their era, and the desperate measures they are prepared to take to escape it. \n \nA Today Show Summer Reads Pick\n \nA Washington Post Book of the Year \n \nWe think we know the ones we love. So Pearlie Cook begins her indirect, and devastating exploration of the mystery at the heart of every relationship--how we can ever truly know another person. \n \nIt is 1953 and Pearlie, a dutiful young housewife, finds herself living in the Sunset District in San Francisco, caring not only for her husband's fragile health, but also for her son, who is afflicted with polio. Then, one Saturday morning, a stranger appears on her doorstep, and everything changes. Lyrical, and surprising, The Story of a Marriage is, in the words of Khaled Housseini, a book about love, and it is a marvel to watch Greer probe the mysteries of love to such devastating effect.\n
