A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
Named a Best Book of the Year byThe New York Times Book Review - NPR - The New Republic - Salon - The Seattle Times - Houston Chronicle - The Miami Herald - Publisher's Weekly Remind s] us with uncommon understanding what it is to be young and idealistic, in pursuit of true love, and in love with books and ideas.--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times A grand romance in the Austen tradition.--USA Today Are the great love stories of the nineteenth century dead? Or can there be a new story, written for today and alive to the realities of feminism, sexual freedom, prenups, and divorce? It's the early 1980s. In American colleges, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. As Madeleine studies the age-old motivations of the human heart, real life, in the form of two very different guys, intervenes---the charismatic and intense Leonard Bankhead, and her old friend the mystically inclined Mitchell Grammaticus. As all three of them face life in the real world they will have to reevaluate everything they have learned. Jeffrey Eugenides creates a new kind of contemporary love story in his most powerful novel yet (Newsweek).

The best of many devotionals
Among the many good devotionals we have, my wife and I think this is the best. I made a January 1, 2025, commitment to read it every morning before touching any of my devices. It was easy to do all year because it spoke to my life in fresh ways every day. I am doing the same thing in 2026. We have given many copies to special friends, who also report how important it is to their spiritual growth.

Insightful and encouraging as well as biblical
I've been a Christian for over 40 years. This is hands down the best of ocean life ever read. I've read os won't chambers and Charles spurgeon. And they're great. But what I got from this devotional was a perspective that I had never seen before it challenged my thinking on Grace and Grace living. If anyone is struggling with performance anxiety or general OCD. Focusing on the grace of God can be a great help. Every devotion highlights our need and God's wonderful perfume provision of grace. I can't recommend this devotional enough. In fact it's one of my number one gifts for the people at church.
