Marriage and Other Monuments

I was immediately drawn into the complex dynamics of the two estranged sisters at the heart of this story. Pye's exploration of their relationships, both with each other and their husbands, is nuanced and relatable. Shore's narration is exceptional, bringing a depth of emotion to each character that made me feel like I was eavesdropping on their lives. The pacing is steady, building to a climax that felt both satisfying and poignant. My only critique is that I wish there had been more exploration of the societal changes happening in Richmond, but overall, this is a powerful listen that will resonate with anyone who's ever had a complicated family relationship.
