The Newlyweds by Nell Freudenberger
3.0
3 stars - It was good.
Favorite Quote: It seemed incredible that it could be the same road, the same asphalt, that they had traveled so many times together. You thought that you were the permanent part of your own experience, the net that held it all together—until you discovered that there were many selves, dissolving into one another so quickly over time that the buildings and the trees and even the pavement turned out to have more substance than you did.
First Sentence: She hadn’t heard the mailman, but Amina decided to go out and check.
