Geschichte einer Ehe

We think we know those we love. A novel about the mystery of a life and the profound tenderness of love. San Francisco: Outside on the beach, Holland feels secure in his small house with his wife Pearlie and their son. But the past knocks at the door, and Pearlie realizes that she is just a part of a triangle. Three outsiders struggling with their passions, and a bounty of $100,000 to give life a new direction – the story of a marriage. Andrew Sean Greer's magnificent novel unfolds a poetic pull that no one can escape who has ever fought for a heart, to know it, to hold it, or, if necessary, to let it go. "Moving," judged John Updike.
