American Marriage
About This Novel
Roy and Celestial are a newly married young couple in whom the American Dream and the New South can be seen simultaneously. Roy comes from an ordinary family, but is young and ambitious; Celestial is from an upper-class family and is a promising artist. A year and a half after their marriage, their lives were separated by an unexpected event: Roy was arrested by the police and sentenced to twelve years in prison. Celestial knew her husband was not guilty. But after the incident, she couldn't shake off her inner loss and uneasiness, so she had to seek comfort from her childhood friend and best man at the wedding, Andre. Her love with Roy was once everything to her, but as her husband went to jail longer and longer, she gradually lost her persistence in love. Five years later, the court's decision was suddenly reversed, and Roy returned to Atlanta, preparing to start a new life with his wife. Celestial is faced with a difficult choice: give up their relationship, or rebuild a house of love that has lost its foundation?
