The Marriage Plot

by Jeffrey Eugenides
$12.54
The Marriage Plot - Thryft
The Marriage Plot - Thryft

Love triangle between an English student, scientist, & theology student.

Recommendation: The Marriage Plot is a thought-provoking exploration of love, literature, and self-discovery. Eugenides' prose is both lush and lucid, and his characters are richly drawn and fully realized. The unique feature of this book is its examination of the role of literature and storytelling in our lives, and the ways in which our own narratives shape our decisions and destinies. This book would be perfect for anyone who enjoys literary fiction, complex characters, and a deep dive into the human psyche.

In the spring of her final year, Madeleine Hanna has enrolled in a semiotics course 'to see what all the fuss is about'.

Then Mitchell Grammaticus resurfaces, and wants her to be his wife.
