The Marriage Plot

Author: Jeffrey Eugenides   RRP: £20.00   Publisher: Fourth Estate

Review

Set in the early 1980’s, as the three main characters graduate from college, Eugenides twists the classic Vicorian marriage plot of one woman, Madeleine,  choosing between the competing love claims of the sexy but manic depressive Leonard and the conservative but reliable Mitchell. A thoroughly enjoyable contemporary read with well crafted characters from someone  regarded as a great American novelist after just three books!
