Publisher's description. Rabih and Kirsten meet, fall in love, get
married. Think this is the end of the story? It's only the
beginning. With his trademark warmth and wit, Alain de Botton
explores modern relationships with a novel that asks what it truly
means to love and to be loved.
*Penguin*
He's completely on the money with the minutiae of marital life and
every note rings uncomfortably true. The story is told with great
wit and affection... de Botton knows his stuff and the book builds
into a truly wonderful and positive analysis of a successful
lifelong partnership. It should be compulsory reading for anyone
contemplating tying the knot.
*Daily Mail*
Engaging, meticulous, acutely perceptive... There's a refreshing
honesty in what De Botton has to say
*Guardian*
One passage was so spot-on that I read it aloud to my husband... De
Botton appreciates, as few writers do, the miracle and subtlety of
the so-called ordinary
*The Times*
Well-observed and imbued with a tenderness that feels authentic and
uncynical... It may even save some marriages.
*Evening Standard*
[A] worldly wise romance
*Mail on Sunday*
A complete delight
*Amy Bloom, author of 'Lucky us'*
