adhochman 's review for:

The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

5.0

---

I tore through this book. It was such a great mix of pleasure and pain to read. But the afterglow is wearing off as I consider the author's parsing of science and religion. I also keep mulling over his explorations of feminism as a force in refashioning the novel and relationships, but I come up empty. I fear not much has really changed. A great read though; the kind of fiction that makes me need more fiction.
