A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Named a Best Book of
the Year by
"The New York Times Book Review - "NPR" - The New Republic - Salon
- The Seattle Times - Houston Chronicle - The Miami Herald -
Publisher's Weekly" "Remind s] us with uncommon understanding what
it is to be young and idealistic, in pursuit of true love, and in
love with books and ideas."--Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"
"A grand romance in the Austen tradition."--"USA Today"
Are the great love stories of the nineteenth century dead? Or can
there be a new story, written for today and alive to the realities
of feminism, sexual freedom, prenups, and divorce? It's the early
1980s. In American colleges, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida
and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful
English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and
George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart
of the greatest English novels. As Madeleine studies the age-old
motivations of the human heart, real life, in the form of two very
different guys, intervenes---the charismatic and intense Leonard
Bankhead, and her old friend the mystically inclined Mitchell
Grammaticus. As all three of them face life in the real world they
will have to reevaluate everything they have learned. Jeffrey
Eugenides creates a new kind of contemporary love story in "his
most powerful novel yet" ("Newsweek").
