Monogamy A Novel – Audiobook Online
Monogamy is a literary fiction book by author Sue Miller.
A brilliantly poignant novel, captivating and haunting, about marriage, love, family, happiness and sadness.
Graham and Annie have been married for nearly thirty years. Their seemingly effortless dedication has long made their friends and acquaintances envious.
Graham was a bookseller, a large, sociable man with great desires—curious, eager to please, a lover of life and frequent partygoer , having fun at his and Annie’s comfortable home in Cambridge. Annie, more reserved and introspective, is a photographer. She’s about to have her first art exhibition after six years of lull and worry that the best years of her career may be over. They have two grown children; Lucas, Graham’s son with his first wife, Frieda, works in New York. Annie and Graham’s daughter, Sarah, lives in San Francisco. Although Frieda was an integral part of this loving, distant family, Annie felt confident knowing that she was Graham’s last and greatest love.
When Graham suddenly passed away – this man whose immense presence seemed to dominate their lives together – Annie went missing. What was the point of continuing without him, she wondered?
Still mourning Graham fiercely, she uncovers a devastating secret, one that will plunge her into darkness. She has to question whether she really knows the man who loves her.
This cautionary tale about the fragility of marriage begins as a page-turner that turns into a bit of a slog-fest before eventually redeeming itself. And that’s disappointing because it’s so good in the beginning!
Written by Sue Miller, this hybrid between ChickLit and literary fiction, is the story of a marriage and the heartbreaking betrayal of infidelity. Annie and Graham (second marriage for both) have been married for 30 years. They live in Cambridge in the shadow of Harvard University. A big man with an even bigger personality, he owns a thriving independent bookstore.
She is a tiny little thing, who putters as an arty photographer. They live in a very small converted carriage house on a street of otherwise grandiose homes. Life is sweet. Because Graham has this habit, albeit one he has resisted for years, he embarks on an ill-advised affair with a friend of theirs. It’s all about sex and nothing more. He ends it. And then Graham very suddenly and very unexpectedly dies. That’s the page-turner part of the book.
