So it was published in 2004, but I just finished reading "The Amateur Marriage" by Anne Tyler. I know she has published many books but I have not really been interested in any of them. I picked up this copy at the thrift shop and added it to the tall pile of books for my pending reads. I picked this one up since I loved the title. I thing most of us can be called amateurs no matter how long we have been married.
I liked the book. She did surprise me at the end with where she went. At one point it seemed it was going to be one of those overly simple endings where they try to tidy up all the loose ends but then it kept going to a conclusion that was not my expected tidy finish.
After I read it I checked out the review in the New York Times .....http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/11/books/unhappily-ever-after.html?pagewanted=1
