Monogamy: A Novel
📚 Why We Recommend ItSue Miller’s Monogamy is far more than a story about marriage—it’s a haunting, perceptive dive into the complexities of love, grief, and the secrets that hide even in the most “enviable” lives. For nearly 30 years, Graham and Annie have been the “golden couple” of their circle: Graham, the gregarious bookseller who lights up every room, and Annie, the introspective photographer nervously returning to her career. But when Graham dies suddenly, Annie’s world collapses—and a devastating secret she uncovers forces her to question everything she thought she knew about her husband, and their love.
Miller avoids the clichés of a “scorned wife” narrative; instead, she crafts vivid, relatable characters (and a rich portrait of Cambridge’s domestic life) that make the story feel like a window into real human struggle.
