Monogamy

Sue Miller’s latest title is the story of one man and two women. Graham is the man at the center of the story who is married to Frieda first and then Anne. He is a gregarious, larger-than-life character who remains friends with his first wife even though he betrays her. Anne is reflecting back on her life with this exuberant man she loved even though she finds out posthumously that he cheated on her, too. Through Anne’s voice we discover the extended family Graham built with his two children- one from each wife- and how he manages to maintain their love despite his affairs.
