State of the Union: A Marriage in Ten Parts

State of the Union: A Marriage in Ten Parts by Hornby, Nick. library edition. ISBN: 9781432870249.

A heartbreaking, funny, and honest look inside of a marriage falling apart and the lengths a couple would go to in order to fix it from the bestselling author of About a Boy and High Fidelity. Now a SundanceTV series starring Rosamund Pike and Chris ODowd! Tom and Louise meet in a pub before their couples therapy appointment. Married for years, they thought they had a stable home life--until a recent incident pushed them to the brink. Going to therapy seemed like the perfect solution. But over drinks before their appointment, they begin to wonder: what if marriage is like a computer? What if you take it apart to see whats in there, but then youre left with a million pieces? Unfolding in the minutes before their weekly therapy sessions, the ten-chapter conversation that ensues is witty and moving, forcing them to look at their marriage--and, for the first time in a long time, at each other.
