In this moving sequel to her national bestseller A Year by the Sea , Joan Anderson explores the challenges of rebuilding and renewing a marriage with her trademark candor, compassion, and insight.
With A Year by the Sea , Joan Anderson struck a chord in many tens of thousands of readers. Her brave decision to take a year for herself away from her marriage, her frank assessment of herself at midlife, and her openness in sharing her fears as well as her triumphs won her admirers and inspired women across the country to reconsider their options. In this new book, Anderson does for marriage what she did for women at midlife. Using the same very personal approach, she shows us her own rocky path to renewing a marriage gone stale, satisfying the demand from readers and reviewers to learn what comes next.
When Joan and her husband Robin decided to repair and renew their marriage after her eye-opening year of self-discovery, the outcome was far from certain. He had suddenly decided to retire and move to Cape Cod himself and embark on his own journey of midlife reinvention. After the initial shock of incorporating another person back into Joan’s daily life and her treasured cottage, they begin the process of "recycling"–using the original materials of their marriage to create a new partnership. Rereading the letters that she had written from Uganda during the early years of their marriage, she is reminded about the nervousness and joy with which she began their life together. Her sudden incapacitation with a broken ankle reveals an unexpected resourceful and tender side in her husband. A grimly comic and strained dinner party with three other couples reveals to both Joan and Robin some of the emotional pitfalls (and horrors) that can befall married couples.
In her year of solitude by the sea, Anderson learned that "there is no greater calling than to make a new creation out of the old self." In An Unfinished Marriage , she charts the new journey that she and her husband have begun together, seasoned by their years of marriage but newly awakened to the possibilities of their future together. A unique, tremendously moving and insightful entry into the literature of marriage, it will provide salutary shocks of recognition and fresh hope for all women and men negotiating their own marital passages.

我不得不说,《未竟的婚姻》这本书,它所描绘的,是一种近乎令人窒息的真实。它没有那些戏剧性的冲突,没有刻意的反转,却在一种平静得近乎压抑的氛围中,将一段婚姻的裂痕一点点放大。我能感受到字里行间那种无声的叹息,那种被时间磨平的棱角,以及那些日复一日被堆积起来的失望。作者的笔触非常精准,她捕捉到了那些日常对话中的潜台词,那些眼神中的疏离,以及那些习惯性的冷漠。我时常会想象,当主人公们在夜晚独自面对黑暗时,心中涌起的究竟是怎样的情绪?是悔恨,是无奈,还是早已麻木?这本书让我体会到,有时候,最深刻的伤害并非源于一场激烈的争吵,而是来自长久的忽视和被遗忘。它让我开始审视,我们是否过于理所当然地认为,婚姻就是永恒的承诺,而忽略了它同样需要持续的经营和维系。读这本书,是一种深刻的反思,也是一种情感的洗礼。
评分《未竟的婚姻》这本书,与其说它是一个关于婚姻的故事,不如说它是一曲关于人生选择的挽歌。我被它那种冷静、克制的叙事风格深深吸引。作者没有试图去评判任何一个角色,而是将他们置于一个极为真实的情境中,让他们去经历,去感受,去做出自己的决定。我看到的是,在婚姻的围城里,每个人都在努力地寻找自己的位置,却又常常因为彼此的期待和现实的落差而感到疲惫。那些曾经的誓言,那些美好的憧憬,在日复一日的琐碎生活中,变得模糊不清,甚至被遗忘。我尤其喜欢书中对角色内心独白的描写,那些内敛的情感,那些欲言又止的言语,都显得无比动人。它让我明白,婚姻并非终点,而是另一个开始,一个需要不断探索和理解的旅程。这本书让我对“爱”有了更深层次的理解,它不只是激情,更是一种选择,一种责任,以及一种不断成长的过程。
评分读完《未竟的婚姻》这本书,我感到一种前所未有的沉重,但同时又有一种释然。作者以一种近乎冷酷的笔触,描绘了一段注定走向分离的婚姻。它不像其他文学作品那样,试图给予读者希望或者慰藉,而是赤裸裸地展现了人与人之间,尤其是夫妻之间,那种难以逾越的鸿沟。我能感受到书中人物的无奈,他们的挣扎,以及最终的妥协。那些被压抑的情感,那些未曾实现的梦想,都化作了婚姻中无声的叹息。我常常会想,如果他们当初能够更坦诚一些,如果他们能够更勇敢一些,结果是否会不同?然而,人生并没有太多的如果。这本书让我明白,有些关系,一旦出现了裂痕,就很难再修复。它不是一本轻松读物,但绝对是一本值得深思的书。它让我重新审视了“承诺”的含义,以及在一段关系中,个人成长的重要性。
评分这本《未竟的婚姻》真是一场意想不到的旅程,我几乎是屏息凝神地读完的。作者以一种极其细腻且充满张力的方式,刻画了婚姻的复杂性。它不像市面上那些宣扬完美爱情的童话故事,而是赤裸裸地展现了现实生活中,两个本应最亲密的人如何因为时间的侵蚀、未说出口的遗憾、以及那些细微之处的背叛,而渐行渐远。我尤其被打动的是书中对角色内心世界的挖掘,那些纠结、挣扎、渴望与失落,都像是发生在自己身上一样真实。主人公的每一个选择,每一次犹豫,都牵动着我的情绪。有时候,我会为他们的固执而感到无奈,有时候,又会因为他们偶尔流露出的温情而心生期盼。这本书不是在讲一个跌宕起伏的惊悚故事,它更像是一面镜子,照出了我们每个人在亲密关系中可能面临的困境和选择。它让我思考,什么才是真正的“在一起”,又是什么让我们成为了彼此生命中最熟悉的陌生人。读完之后,那种挥之不去的情绪,久久萦绕心头,甚至会让你重新审视自己的人际关系。
评分《未竟的婚姻》这本书,它所带来的冲击,是如此的微妙而深刻。我被它那种极简却又饱含深意的叙事方式所折服。作者仿佛是一位冷静的观察者,将一段婚姻的兴衰,置于时间的长河中,静静地展现。我看到的是,当最初的热情褪去,当生活变成了一种习惯,当彼此的期待无法得到满足时,婚姻会走向何方。书中的人物,他们不是因为什么惊天动地的原因而分开,而是因为那些日积月累的小事,那些被忽视的感受,那些未曾说出口的渴望。我能感受到那种无力感,那种想要抓住却又无从下手的感觉。它让我明白,婚姻不仅仅是两个人的结合,更是两个人对彼此的理解和包容。读完这本书,我仿佛经历了一场心灵的洗礼,它让我更加珍惜眼前拥有的一切,同时也让我对未来的人际关系有了更深刻的思考。
