This beautiful first Canadian edition is near fine, no marks, pages are tight and appear unread, the book is tight, square, and unmarked. The dust jacket is unmarked, orange cloth boards, and bright gilt lettering on the spine of the book. The Marriage Plot is set in the early 1980s, following three main characters as they navigate post-college life and relationships. It plays on the literary trope of the marriage plot, famously used in classic 19th-century novels by authors like Jane Austen and George Eliot. The Marriage Plot was praised for its rich character development and intelligent exploration of literature, love, and existential questions. Jeffrey Eugenides won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2003 for his novel Middlesex. With The Marriage Plot, he once again demonstrates his talent for blending literary depth with compelling storytelling.
