This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage

Essays. I had read some of the 22 essays in Ann Patchett’s collection, This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage, when they were originally published in various periodicals. It was only after reading them all again in the context of this collection that I realized how much self-disclosure Patchett has presented to her loyal readers. This prolific writer excels at both fiction and nonfiction, and this volume highlights how fine her prose is in whichever form she chooses. Any reader looking to sample very fine writing that celebrates hard work and the joy of living will find much to enjoy from these pages.
