Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy's conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.
This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future.

Loved this book! Could never have read it the same way as it was narrated so I feel the narration itself added an additional star to the total - the book itself is a strong 3,5/5 but with the narration it’s a 5.

En intressant historia om relationer, kärlek (?), familj, längtan, frihet och att vara frihetsberövad. Den får 3+ av mig.

I'm speachless, blown off my mind and thats an amazing feeling. An american marriage is a huge piece of art from a very wise old soul, like the strong old Hicky🌳 silent and patienton that Atlanta lawn. Tayari Jones is up there, amongst the coolest of ladies and I'm so starstruck it twinkles having been given the book by you. Thank you! Lina Forss

Målande uppläst. En intressant historia men framförallt är det dialogen och relationerna som fängslar. Rekommenderar den varmt!
