Blending literature and memoir, Ann Patchett, author
of State of Wonder,
Run, and Bel Canto, examines
her deepest commitments—to writing, family, friends, dogs,
books, and her husband—creating a resonant portrait of a
life in This is the Story of a Happy
Marriage.
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.
