Critics Review
A brilliant and breathtaking novel that is for anyone who has ever loved… Story of a Marriage is the naked truth, sexy and sad, stunning for its clarity, the author’s ability to simultaneously render denial and knowing too much. It is a novel about all the things we know and don’t want to know about ourselves, our partners and our lives and the shocking reminder that the very same things that draw us together are the ones that pull us apart. – A.M. HomesBristling with the urgency of lived experience, this is a short and beautifully written account of love’s autoimmunity. – Andrew Anthony * Observer *Exquisitely lean prose – Elisa Segrave * Literary Review *this philosophical domestic drama…is painfully persuasive in its view of relationships * The New Yorker *
