We are thrilled to announce that New York Times bestselling author, Sue Miller, will be appearing in a Bookshop West Portal virtual event to discuss her new book, Monogamy on September 24th, at 6 PM. When her debut novel The Good Mother was published, it took the literary world by storm. While I Was Gone was an Oprah book club pick and received rave reviews. Her breadth of work is observant and tenderly moving. We hope you can join us for this very special event.
In her new book Monogamy, she brings mature, deep insight to the story of a couple at the end of their long marriage. It is a brilliant novel, engrossing and haunting, about love, family, happiness, and sorrow.
Graham and Annie have been married for nearly thirty years. A golden couple, their seemingly effortless devotion has long been the envy of their circle of friends. Graham is a bookseller, a big, gregarious man with large appetites--curious, eager to please, and a lover of life. Annie, more reserved and introspective, is a photographer. When Graham suddenly dies--this man whose enormous presence has seemed to dominate their lives together--Annie is lost. What is the point of going on, she wonders, without him? While she is still mourning him intensely, she discovers that Graham had been unfaithful to her; she spirals into darkness, wondering if she ever truly knew the man who loved her.
