Synopsis
From Nell Freudenberger, one of America's most dazzling talents, comes The Newlyweds, a fabulous 21st century love story about getting, and staying, wed.
Amina met George online. Within months she has left her home in Bangladesh and is living in George's house in the American suburbs. Theirs is a very twenty-first century union, forged from afar yet echoing the traditions of the arranged marriage.
But as Amina struggles to find her place in America, it becomes clear that neither she nor George have been entirely honest with each other. Both have brought to the marriage a secret - a vital, hidden part of themselves, which will reveal who they are and whether their future is together or an ocean apart.
Reminiscent of Anne Tyler, Curtis Sittenfeld's The American Wife and Jennifer Egan, The Newlyweds is a tour de force - a novel as rich with misunderstandings as it is with unlikely connections.
'Every minute I was away from this book I was longing to be back in the world she created' Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder
'A marvellous book' Kiran Desai, winner of the MAN Booker Prize for The Inheritance of Loss
