Wedding

Jeffrey Eugenides (Detroit, 1960) is one of the greatest American writers of the moment. His debut novel The Suicide of the Girls was filmed by Sofia Coppola. In 2003, Eugenides received the Pulitzer Prize, the most important American literary award, for his second novel, Middlesex, which sold more than three million copies.

While her fellow American students are poring over the unreadable fashionable philosophers of the moment, 22-year-old Madeleine Hanna is reading nineteenth-century English romance novels, which can tell her everything about married life. Madeleine is prim and proper, a little too proper for her bohemian friends, and her college life hasn't been very exciting so far.
However, meeting two boys will change her life completely. Leonard Morton is a charismatic loner who seems to have an inexhaustible amount of energy. At the same time, her former good friend Mitchell Grammaticus is obsessed with the idea that Madeleine and he are destined to be together forever.
Marriage is a beautiful novel about a love triangle between young, growing people, an age-old theme that Jeffrey Eugenides manages to give a completely contemporary dimension. Rarely has the workings of the human heart been described more accurately and beautifully than in this brilliant novel about the brilliance and fickleness of love.
Eugenides' first novel in nine years, this one has been eagerly anticipated in America and the rest of the world for years, and its appearance is considered one of the great literary sensations of the decade.
