A Happy Marriage

By Yglesias, Rafael

Publishers Summary:
Both intimate and expansive, Rafael Yglesias's new novel is the story of the relationship between Enrique Sabas and his wife, Margaret. Spanning thirty years, the novel alternates between the romantic misadventures of the first weeks of their courtship and the final months of Margaret's life as she says good-bye to her family, friends, children, and Enrique. Inspired by the author's own marriage to his wife, who died in 2004, this achingly honest story is about what it means for two people to spend a lifetime together and what makes a happy marriage. Bold, elegiac, and emotionally suspenseful, Yglesias's beautiful novel will encourage one with its clear-eyed evocation of the enduring value of marriage.
