Description
The New York Times best-selling author of The Nix returns with a poignant and witty novel about a modern marriage and the bonds that keep people together. Wellness reimagines the love story with a healthy dose of insight, irony, and heart.
When two young people meet in the gritty '90s art scene, they join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in the thriving underground scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to suburban married life, and they encounter the often-baffling pursuits of health and happiness from polyamorous would-be suitors to home-renovation hysteria.
In the process, they must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other. A stunning novel about the stories that we tell about our lives and our loves, and how we sustain relationships throughout time, Wellness is both funny and heartbreaking, sometimes on the same page.
