Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage by Dani Shapiro

5.0

A deceptively slim but concentrated look at the compromises that go into a marriage, as the author examines the sturdy and less-than so material her own eighteen-years and counting marriage is based on. Filled with apt illustrative quotes from wise writers, it moves seemingly effortlessly back in forth in time. Beautifully written, skillfully observed, and emotionally very, very intelligent.
