Description
Blending literature and
memoir, Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder and Bel Canto examines
her deepest commitments: to writing, family, friends, dogs, books, and
her husband in This is the Story of a Happy Marriage. Together these
essays, previously published in The Atlantic, Harper's, Vogue, and the
Washington Post, form a resonant portrait of a life lived with loyalty
and with love.
This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage takes us into the very real world of Ann Patchett's life. Stretching from her childhood to the present day, from a disastrous early marriage to a later happy one, it covers a multitude of topics, including relationships with family and friends, and charts the hard work and joy of writing, and the unexpected thrill of opening a bookstore.
As she shares stories of the people, places, ideals, and art to which she has remained indelibly committed, Ann Patchett brings into focus the large experiences and small moments that have shaped her as a daughter, wife, and writer.

"As the best personal essays often do, Patchett's is a two-way mirror, reflecting both the author and her readers." --New York Times Book Review
