BOOK DESCRIPTION: Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together. This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future.

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed reactions to this book. While many appreciate its deep and intimate portrayal of a couple's marriage and the complexities of their emotions, some found the character decisions perplexing and not fully explained. The book's structure, including its epistolary format, and its commentary on societal issues like wrongful imprisonment, were praised. However, some readers felt the story was partially given away by its synopsis and that the second half didn't hold up well. Overall, it includes moving and poignant moments that resonate differently among readers.
