With devastating wit and deep affection for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides crafts a contemporary story that feels like an intimate journal of our lives. Set in the early 1980s during a deep recession, the narrative follows Madeleine Hanna, an English major writing her thesis on the marriage plot in literature. As she grapples with the shift from classic writers like Cheever and Updike to more avant-garde figures, her life takes a turn with the arrival of Leonard Bankhead, a charismatic and troubled college Darwinist. Their intense intellectual and erotic relationship complicates matters, especially with the reemergence of Mitchell Grammaticus, a friend obsessed with the idea that he and Madeleine are destined to be together. As the trio navigates post-college life, they are forced to reevaluate their beliefs and experiences. Leonard and Madeleine's move to a biology lab on Cape Cod reveals the struggles behind Leonard's charm, while Mitchell travels the world, confronting profound questions about love, existence, and faith. The story probes whether the great love narratives of the past are obsolete or if a new, modern tale can emerge, addressing contemporary issues like feminism, sexual freedom, and the complexities of relationships.

Manželská zápletka je román, ktorý si od čitateľa vyžaduje sústredenie a trpezlivosť. Nejde o oddychové čítanie, ale o premyslený príbeh zameraný na psychológiu postáv, ich vnútorné prežívanie a komplikované vzťahy. Autorka sa venuje témam manželstva, lásky, záväzku a osobnej identity s veľkou hĺbkou a realistickým pohľadom.
