![]() ![]() ![]() Jacqueline Woodson, author of Another Brooklyn and Brown Girl Dreaming Reading it, I found myself angry as hell, laughing out loud, choking up and cheering. Tayari's novel is timely, thoughtful, and beautifully written. "I love An American Marriage and I'm so excited for this book to be in the world. An American Marriage gorgeously evokes the New South as it explores mass incarceration on a personal level." "Tayari Jones provides an essential contemporary portrait of a marriage in this searing novel. "Novelist Jones writes brilliantly about expectations and loss and racial injustice, and how love must evolve when our best laid plans go awry." She never ignores their flaws, their perfectly human tendency toward self-justification, but she also captures their longing to be kind, to be just, to somehow behave well despite the contradictory desires of the heart." spun with tender patience by Jones, who cradles each of these characters in a story that pulls our sympathies in different directions. ![]()
