I Married You for Happiness: A Novel by Lily Tuck

5.0

Contemplative

A brief, quiet, and contemplative book taking place nearly entirely in the mind and through the memories of Nina, reflecting on a life with the space of one night. A night in which her husband, Philip, goes to take a nap before dinner and never wakes up. Sad, but also fairly peaceful in the sense that we know we all must die, but will our lives be fulfilling? This book was like a long, slow exhalation.
