An American Marriage by Tayari Jones


Star Rating: ★★★★★

An American Marriage

I really love books set in the South. This is set in Atlanta and Louisiana, so it's right up my alley. An American Marriage beautifully explores social mobility and questions if it can really climb the social ladder without your home and roots haunting you. For me, this is a deeply relatable topic, and I enjoyed reading about it through someone else's perspective. The plot is much like the setup of Hamilton in that the plot is revealed upfront, and you're left to explore the colorful details of the story itself.
