«Le Roman du mariage» is the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, published by Éditions de l'Olivier in 2013 in paperback and in French.
Madeleine studies literature at Brown in the eighties. There she meets Leonard, a young manic-depressive with whom she falls in love, and Mitchell, who is in love with her. Among books, music and literary theory, she contrasts Jane Austen's love with new ideas about desire. It is a coming-of-age story in Reagan's America.
The English original, The Marriage Plot, was published in 2011; this 2013 French edition was translated by Olivier Deparis.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and coming-of-age stories, with a university setting and reflections on love and identity.
