From Nell Freudenberger, one of America's most dazzling talents, comes The Newlyweds, a fabulous 21st century love story about getting, and staying, wed. Amina met George online. Within months she has left her home in Bangladesh and is living in George's house in the American suburbs. Theirs is a very twenty-first century union, forged from afar yet echoing the traditions of the arranged marriage. But as Amina struggles to find her place in America, it becomes clear that neither she nor George have been entirely honest with each other. Both have brought to the marriage a secret - a vital, hidden part of themselves, which will reveal who they are and whether their future is together or an ocean apart. Reminiscent of Anne Tyler, Curtis Sittenfeld's The American Wife and Jennifer Egan, The Newlyweds is a tour de force - a novel as rich with misunderstandings as it is with unlikely connections. 'Every minute I was away from this book I was longing to be back in the world she created' Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder 'A marvellous book' Kiran Desai, winner of the MAN Booker Prize for The Inheritance of Loss 'A wonderful, funny, inventive novel that takes you slowly by surprise the more you read. Highly recommended' Red (Book of the Month) Nell Freudenberger is the author of the novel The Dissident, (longlisted for the Orange Prize) and the story collection Lucky Girls, winner of the PEN/Malamud Award and shortlisted for the Orange New Writers' Prize and a New York Times Book Review Notable Book. She was named a New Yorker '20 Under 40' writer and one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
