À propos de cette écoute

Oprah’s Book Club 2018 Selection

Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit.

Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy's conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.

This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward - with hope and pain - into the future.

    Commentaires

    "Narrators Eisa Davis and Sean Crisden skillfully portray Celestial and Roy.... In Part One, the narrators read the couple's letters so intimately that the listener may feel like an intruder.... As every wedding vow is tested, the narrators breathe intensity into Jones's riveting prose." (AudioFile)

    the story is captivating but what pulled me in completely is the way how it's read. every person its own voice.

    this book reads like a film

    This story is well written. It seems that it is a true story. A black man faultily accused of rape is incarcerated but freed early as he has a good lawyer. However, it is still five years and his wife has rebuilt her life…
    It is so sad… just read it.

    Really moving story

    Easy to listen to, the story grabs at your emotions but not excessively so. A story like one a friend would tell you.
    Glad I got to hear it.

    Heartbreaking, heartfelt and human.
