Discover "The Marriage Plot" by Jeffrey Eugenides, a captivating tale of love, academia, and self-discovery. Dive into this modern literary masterpiece today!
Madeleine Hanna, an English major at Brown University, finds herself caught between two worlds: the allure of semiotics and the comfort of Victorian literature. As she grapples with her thesis on the marriage plot in 19th-century novels, her own love life becomes entangled with two very different men. Leonard, brilliant but troubled, and Mitchell, spiritual and devoted, vie for her affections. Eugenides weaves a tale of love, ambition, and self-discovery that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt lost in the transition to adulthood. I found myself nodding along, remembering my own college days and the messy path to finding oneself.
People don't save other people. People save themselves.
