This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage

A Reese Witherspoon Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick "As the best personal essays often do, Patchett's is a two-way mirror, reflecting both the author and her readers." -- New York Times Book Review In this thoughtful collection of essays, New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett brings her narrative gifts to bear on her own life, using insight and compassion to turn very personal experiences into stories that will resonate with every reader. This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage takes us into the very real world of Ann Patchett's life. Stretching from her childhood to the present day, from a disastrous early marriage to a later happy one, it covers a multitude of topics, including relationships with family and friends, and charts the hard work and joy of writing, and the unexpected thrill of opening a bookstore. An irresistible blend of literature and memoir, this "sparkling collection" ( The New Yorker ) is a unique examination of the heart, mind, and soul of one of our most revered and gifted writers.
