  • 許菁芳/愛仍然存在,但愛情已經消亡──讀小說《婚姻生活》

    文/許菁芳2022年02月09日

    《婚姻生活》的英文原書標題為「一段美國婚姻」 ( An American Marriage ),乍看之下令讀者以為是述說典型婚姻故事的一部小說,或有浪漫戀愛、再有爭吵與指控、後有離與不離的糾葛、與兒女成長的疏離或抗爭。 是也不是。《婚姻生活》談的是一段剛萌芽的婚姻,如何在命運的大浪底下,逐漸 more

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.
