As the author looks back at eighteen years of marriage, she evaluates the tragedies, health scares, and sacrifices that comprise of a marriage. Her husband, a former war correspondent, is struggling to find his footing in the screenplay business while she supplements her writing career by teaching seminars. The struggle of two writers to make a living, even as they enter middle age, takes a toll on the marriage but also highlights what they have already overcome. This is a quiet memoir, and one that anyone that has been married for years can recognize. It is short and sometimes feels as if she is stretching to find material to even fill that length, but it is beautifully written and a very honest account of marriage in the later years. I received this from Penguin's First to Read Program in exchange for an honest review.
