Monogamy by Sue Miller
Out now on Kindle and Hardcover
Available in paperback - May 4th
Character-driven is the best way I can describe Monogamy. It's a look into a marriage filled with all its imperfections and realness. I'm not sure I would call it a classic romance, but it is real, unfiltered, and honest. It's what I am sure many relationships resemble. I am left feeling melancholy and a bit somber after reading. It's not a light drama and I feel as if a reader should be in a good headspace before reading. Especially if they have been through a close-death trauma. This is my first time reading Sue Miller- I enjoyed her engaging writing style and prose very much.
Life and mortality is an emotional thing
~Tanja
Graham and Annie have been married for nearly thirty years. Their seemingly effortless devotion has long been the envy of their circle of friends and acquaintances. By all appearances, they are a golden couple.
Graham is a bookseller, a big, gregarious man with large appetites—curious, eager to please, a lover of life, and the convivial host of frequent, lively parties at his and Annie’s comfortable house in Cambridge. Annie, more reserved and introspective, is a photographer. She is about to have her first gallery show after a six-year lull and is worried that the best years of her career may be behind her. They have two adult children; Lucas, Graham’s son with his first wife, Frieda, works in New York. Annie and Graham’s daughter, Sarah, lives in San Francisco. Though Frieda is an integral part of this far-flung, loving family, Annie feels confident in the knowledge that she is Graham’s last and greatest love.
When Graham suddenly dies—this man whose enormous presence has seemed to dominate their lives together—Annie is lost. What is the point of going on, she wonders, without him?
Then, while she is still mourning Graham intensely, she discovers a ruinous secret, one that will spiral her into darkness and force her to question whether she ever truly knew the man who loved her.
