The Italian version of "Marriage Story" is the New York Times Best Book of the Year, the Sunday Times Book of the Year, and the best-read novel of the year by Kirkus Reviews. It has been translated into thirty-three languages ​​​​and marketed around the world. It directly hits the pain points of people's lives and exposes the depression and pain of married life. It has been adapted into the movie "Marriage Connection". One hot summer day, Aldo and Wanda, who were in their twilight years, returned home from vacation at the beach and found that their home had been turned upside down, and even their beloved cat was missing. Who did it? Every family hides some secrets from the past. Aldo's secret is that he abandoned his wife and children when he was young and lived with a woman named Lidia. Through the tension, friction, and weight of ordinary life, the marriage survived, but the cracks were already there. If you look carefully, you will find that the cracks are obvious, just like a vase that has already cracked and will break when touched, but no one wants to admit it. The famous Italian writer Domenico Starnone is not only a master at showing life in his later years, but his sharp and profound writing style also reveals the intricacies of marriage and family life. This story of betrayal restores the whole story from three perspectives through the perspective of the husband, the perspective of the wife, and the memories of the two children, and also reveals the completely different and incommunicable situations experienced by everyone within the family. This book is also the latest translation by Chen Ying, the translator of the "Naples Quartet".
