A Great Marriage - Frances Mayes

 A Great Marriage - Frances Mayes

What makes a great marriage or even a good one or a good divorce?

Dara and Austin are in love and celebrating their upcoming marriage with family and friends.  Little do they suspect that something will seriously impact their relationship, throwing their worlds into chaos.  With support of those who love them, will they find their way back to each other?

Both literary fiction and romance, this is a beautiful story and I loved it.  With an entertaining storyline, the book explores romantic relationships and partnerships. It is well written, literate, with a cohesive plot and charming intergenerational characters. As she has done with other locales, Mayes paints a beautiful portrait of the South (US). Perhaps a bit fairy talish,  I think it may take a certain level of maturity and experience to truly appreciate this read. 

Thanks to @NetGalley and @RandomHouse #BallantineBooks for the DRC.
