mvmckenzie16 's review for:
The Marriage Plot
by Jeffrey Eugenides
eugenides books are all the more precious to me since they only come about every 7 years or so. despite this feeling somewhat like a minor work to me - at least in comparison with "middlesex" - i really loved his evocation of college and the period just following it. the plot as a whole was so reminiscent of hardy and "madame bovary" that it really grabbed the inner english major in me - even though (or perhaps because of the fact) the characters were in many regards highly unlikable. also, the descriptions of manic depression were rather stunning.
