I Married You for Happiness by Lily Tuck
4.0
Thought provoking, almost real feeling look at a life lived and a life shared. Chance, circumstance.
(Edited later) The next day I watched the documentary, Searching for Sugarman, which is about this Mexican-American singer song writer that became super famous (without his knowing about it) in 70s South Africa. It felt weird parallel to this book. The ideas of chance, probability, fate, choices, as well as Schroedinger’s Cat (being alive and dead at the same time), etc. The movie was great, but having just read this book it felt like it came full circle, and I got more out of both of them.
