Listen To The Marriage: A Novel

"Can a marriage survive affairs and distrust? What is left to even try to salvage? That’s what husband and wife Steve and Gretchen are facing in their therapist’s office when Listen to the Marriage opens. But here’s the thing: The whole book takes place in that office, and it’s written from the point of view of the therapist. This book should be claustrophobic and could be cloying, but instead it’s a mind-expanding examination of the alchemy of two people joining in marriage. And that marriage needs tending to, just as much as — if not more than — each of the individuals who created it. Why get married? This novel is an argument in favor."
