Description
The Necessary Marriage by Elisa Lodato is an intense and intimate portrait of relationships. When Jane falls in love with her teacher, Leonard Campbell, she thinks she's found everything she wants: handsome, intelligent, and attentive. But as she settles into married life with two children, she begins to lose herself.
It isn't until a new couple moves in next door that Jane is forced to confront the feelings she didn't know she had. Marion and Andrew's passion tips into violence, and when Marion abandons her family, Jane steps in to help. This sets off a series of events that expose the push and pull within every relationship.
As desire and loyalty become blurred, it becomes clear that nobody can escape the devastating impact of a family falling apart. The Necessary Marriage is a gripping exploration of how couples come together and grow apart, and the passions that drive us to do crazy things.
