An American Marriage

4.5 rounded up for this novel, an Oprah book selection! Oprah has never let me down with her book choices!
A terrible racial injustice has occurred that rips apart the marriage of a black couple, Roy and Celestial after only a year of marriage. The storytelling is stellar and the characters are just so real.
Very moving! Recommended!

Great review, Karen!
Wonderful review, Karen, everything I needed to know. I've been on the wait list at my library for this for a while, but I suspect it will be a while until it's my turn - am looking forward to it even more now!
Thank you ladies! So good!
So glad that you enjoyed this one, Karen. I'm waiting for it at the library. Can't wait to get into it. :)
Lovely review, Karen! Happy you enjoyed it because I have it to read too!
I got this free on Hoopla. They have both the audio and the ebook. I'm half way through and enjoying it. lots of credit to the author for an original story.
I sometimes find Oprah books depressing, but I did choose this for a BOTM selection so I'll be reading it soon. Glad you enjoyed it Karen!

Yes, very original... I started this one knowing nothing about it, so glad.

I read An American Marriage a few weeks ago - it was a different story but so very 'today' and very well written
