A review by shaniceswank
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
3.0
Thought provoking read on the topics of marriage, commitment, autonomy, and the unexpected turns life can take. I couldn’t say I was rooting for any particular character throughout the novel — especially Roy. Even prior to him being horribly wronged by the justice system, I was not a fan of his character.
I enjoyed the writing style of the author. The letters section was unique and an excellent method to narrate what took place during his imprisonment. This isn’t a novel to read for enjoyment, which is my preference, but overall wanting to know the resolution kept me reading.
