An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Tayari Jones’ latest novel follows newlyweds Roy and Celestial, a young executive and an artist who are torn apart when Roy is falsely accused of rape and sentenced to 12 years in prison. The book was named a Best Book of the Year by O, the Oprah Magazine, Amazon, NPR, Time, and Bustle, among others. “Tayari Jones provides an essential contemporary portrait of a marriage in this searing novel. An American Marriage gorgeously evokes the New South as it explores mass incarceration on a personal level,” writes Entertainment Weekly.
