A Today Show Summer Reads Pick A Washington Post Book of the Year It 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."" ""Inspired, lyrical . . . Mr. Greer's considerable gifts as a storyteller ascend to the heights of masters like Marilynne Robinson and William Trevor. . . . [He] seamlessly choreographs an intricate narrative that speaks authentically to the longings and desires of his characters.""--S. Kirk Walsh, The New York Times ""This is a haunting book of breathtaking beauty and restraint.""--Dave Eggers, author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and What Is the What ""The chronicle of one marriage, closely and elegantly examined . . . The new novel is built on several narrative surprises that cannot (or should not) be revealed. . . . The Story of a Marriage is more than worth the reader's attention. It's thoughtful, complex, and exquisitely written.""--Carolyn See, The Washington Post |
