Book Review: An American Marriage

201802-orig-american-marriage-949x534What makes a marriage? Who defines what it should look like? How it should feel? What is fidelity in the face of grave opposition? What does it mean to be black in the South? Why is black love different? How is all marriage the same?

An American Marriage is a groundbreaking thought provoking page turner. I was so enthralled by that characters…their flaws, mannerisms, and dialogue was amazing.

The story begins with newlyweds that seemingly have it all together until an accusation of rape unravels their life in an instance. The book unpacks the institution of marriage, the justice system, love, commitment, family and loyalty in unexpected ways.

I definitely recommend the book but suggest you read it with a friend or two so you have someone to talk about it with during and afterwards.

Avec Amour,

Tiffany
