1. "The Marriage Plot," by Jeffrey Eugenides
Can a new novel from Jeffrey Eugenides really measure up to "The Virgin Suicides” and "Middlesex"? Apparently so. Here comes The Marriage Plot, a novel built on a post-college love triangle and an examination of the "marriage plot" – the true love resolution found in English novels. Eugenides constructs an epic love story that works in this age of pre-nups, divorces, and sexual equality.
