Tayari Jones’s new novel,  An American Marriage,  tells the compelling story of a couple at the crossroads of love and injustice. An instant  New York Times  bestseller and a 2018 Oprah’s Book Club selection, it tells of newlyweds Celestial and Roy arriving in Atlanta to start their lives together. They appear to be on a straight track to professional success in their respective careers and starting a family. But their lives are put on hold when Roy, a young executive, is found guilty of rape, a crime both he and Celeste know he did not commit. He is sentenced to twelve years of prison, forcing the couple to somehow sustain their relationship in the face of a broken criminal justice system. Beautifully told!

“Tayari Jones has emerged as one of the most important voices of her generation.” ~ Essence
