From a 2019 edition of the Book Review’s Paperback Row column by Joumana Khatib:
AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE, by Tayari Jones. (Algonquin, $16.95.) The lives of a young Black couple in Atlanta are thrown into chaos after the husband, Roy, is imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. As the couple grapple with their grief, they must also confront the failed hopes of a marriage and romantic love. The grave miscarriage of justice forms the core of Jones’s deeply compassionate and heartbreaking novel.
