Review:
"The mystery of what's at the heart of a marriage can't be unlocked, or even fully captured in words. But Enrique and Margaret are anything but common, distinct both as characters and in the endurance of their love."
Malena Watrous, New York Times Book Review, 07/19/2009
Review:"Rafael Yglesias has transformed the story of his life and that of his wife, Margaret Joskow, who died in 2004, into a profound deliberation on the nature of love, marriage and the process of dying....[I]n the death of this beautiful woman, he has found the novel of his life."
Dinitia Smith, New York Times, 07/26/2009

A Happy Marriage (Hardback) (ISBN: 9781439102305) Yglesias, Rafael Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Scribner Book Company, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 160 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A stunningly candid and revelatory love story by an acclaimed novelist and screenwriter whose return to fiction after a long hiatus will be heralded by critics and readers.In the 1970s Yglesias's first novels, written while he was a teenager, were hailed by critics as the arrival of a young American genius. "A Happy Marriage," his first novel in thirteen years, is a gorgeous and moving story about a thirty- year marriage, inspired by his own relationship with his wife, who died in 2004.Told from the husband's point of view, with revelatory and sometimes disarming candor, "A Happy Marriage" is the story of Enrique Sabas and his wife Margaret, alternating between the first three weeks of their acquaintance (a comic and romantic misadventure) and the bittersweet final weeks of Margaret's life as she says goodbye to her family, friends, and children. Laced throughout with intimate recollections of moments of crises and joy from the middle years of their relationship, the novel charts the ebb and flow of marriage, illuminating the mysteries and magic of marital love.Neither sentimental nor cynical, and written with an intense devotion to character and emotional suspense, "A"Happy Marriage "reveals a partnership that brings maturity"and great pleasure to the lives of two people. Bold, elegiac, and stunningly vivid, "A Happy Marriage" will break every reader's heart--and perhaps infuse some marriages with greater love.
