The 158-Pound Marriage
I’m making my way through the remaining books I own by John Irving that I’ve not read. After A Son of the Circus I needed to read something of his that didn’t seem so dense. So I picked up the smallest novel I had of his: The 158-Pound Marriage.
It was compact and well written, there wasn’t a lot of fluff and it really hit on the points that could really destroy your ménage à quatre. The two husband and wife pairs that entered and fell out, no, crashed and burned out of the relationship explore themselves and their own relationships and discover what lead them into bed together.
