Blending literature and memoir, Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder, Run, and Bel Canto, examines her deepest commitments--to writing, family, friends, dogs, books, and her husband--creating a resonant portrait of a life in This is the Story of a Happy Marriage.

This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage takes us into the very real world of Ann Patchett's life. Stretching from her childhood to the present day, from a disastrous early marriage to a later happy one, it covers a multitude of topics, including relationships with family and friends, and charts the hard work and joy of writing, and the unexpected thrill of opening a bookstore.

As she shares stories of the people, places, ideals, and art to which she has remained indelibly committed, Ann Patchett brings into focus the large experiences and small moments that have shaped her as a daughter, wife, and writer.

Review:
"Patchett's mastery of nonfiction [is] every bit the equal of her skill as a novelist."--Shelf Awareness

"Each of the essays is its own delight and resonates with warmth and humor... If read straight through, the book presents a lovely and lyrical look at a life well lived."--Library Journal

"Readable and candid, Patchett's collection is a joyful celebration of life, love and the written word."--Kirkus Reviews

"All the essays were a joy to read...No matter your interest, you'll find words in this book that speak to you."--Real Simple

"Reading Patchett is like spending time with a deeply perceptive longtime pal, or a new friend that one instantly connects with."--USA Today

"I had been so engaged by Ann Patchett's multifaceted story, so lured in by her confiding voice, that I forgot I was on the job. [...] As the best personal essays often do, Patchett's is a two-way mirror, reflecting both the author and her readers."--New York Times Book Review

"While being an artistic crafter of words, Patchett also has a storyteller's ability to sketch a moment so vividly you can't fail to see how her own writing life was developed."--Aspen Daily News

"In this heartfelt collection of autobiographical essays, the novelist opens up about love, friendship, and family, exhibiting the compassionate voice that is a hallmark of her fiction."--O, the Oprah Magazine

"Patchett's is a no-nonsense voice: clear, sane, companionable... [T]he funny, frank and nervy 'The Getaway Car' (possibly worth the book's price) plunges readers, roller-coaster style, into the story of Patchett's writing life--essentially, this collection's real subject."--San Francisco Chronicle

"All of the essays, which have been collected from her magazine work over two decades, are excellent. Patchett writes enviable prose--fluid, simple, direct, clear, and fearless..."--Esquire.com
Book Description:
A compelling combination of literature and memoir revealing the big experiences and little moments that shaped Ann Patchett as a daughter, wife, and writer
