The Marriage Plot

by Jeffrey Eugenides

Reviewed by Catherine

Author of Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides, Eugenides latest novel is a fresh and contemporary portrayal of modern love. Madeleine Hanna enrols in Semiotics 211 in her final year of her English major and discovers that love, life and literature are intertwined. The work brims with intertextual references to contemporary pop culture and classic literary texts. This novel is smart, witty and engaging. Highly recommended.
