Adventures in Modern Marriage

3.73 (199 ratings by Goodreads)

Paperback | English

By (author): William Nicholson

With pace, wit and a beady eye, Adventures in Modern Marriage revisits the characters from Nicholson''s highly acclaimed The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life. But now the children are grown up, and the adults are older, though not always wiser. Here is a big-hearted novel about life and love in the bestselling vein of Colm Toibin and Nick Hornby

''So incredibly accurate and true. Utterly captures the sense of quiet desperation of ordinary lives ... and the ways in which life turns on a sixpence'' Kate Mosse on The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life


Focusing on Henry and Laura Broad and their daughter Carrie, this is a minute - but in true Nicholson style, extraordinarily empathetic - dissection of relationships and what keeps them going. It is an acute and compassionate look at male mid-life crises, female sexual desire, death and the fear of it, children and the trouble with them - all the things we battle with every day.
