书籍简介

  纽约时报畅销书《The Nix》的作者再次推出一部凄美而诙谐的小说，讲述了婚姻、对健康和幸福常常令人费解的追求，以及将我们紧紧联系在一起的故事。从上世纪 90 年代芝加哥阴暗的艺术场景，到郊区的排毒饮食和家庭装修的歇斯底里，《Wellness》以健康的洞察力、讽刺和真情重新演绎了爱情故事。

"这是一部关于现代婚姻的有趣而感人的探索，其广度和亲密程度令人惊叹"。——《消失的一半》作者布里特-贝内特

上世纪 90 年代，杰克和伊丽莎白在大学时代相识，两人迅速携手，紧紧相拥，渴望在芝加哥蓬勃发展的地下艺术界占有一席之地。二十年后，他们步入婚姻生活，除了养育子女的挑战，他们还遇到了伪装成心灵支持团体的组织、多角恋的追求者、Facebook 大战，以及一种叫做 "九号爱情药水 "的东西。

杰克和伊丽莎白初次努力去认识对方，不再年轻的梦想家们被迫面对自己的心魔，从未竟的事业抱负到童年时对自己不健全家庭的痛苦回忆。在这个过程中，杰克和伊丽莎白必须分别进行个人探索，否则就有可能失去生命中美好的东西：彼此。

The New York Times best-selling author of The Nix is back with a poignant and witty novel about marriage, the often baffling pursuit of health and happiness, and the stories that bind us together. From the gritty '90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home-renovation hysteria, Wellness reimagines the love story with a healthy dose of insight, irony, and heart.

“A hilarious and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astounds in its breadth and intimacy.” —Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half

When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the '90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter cults disguised as mindfulness support groups, polyamorous would-be suitors, Facebook wars, and something called Love Potion Number Nine.

For the first time, Jack and Elizabeth struggle to recognize each other, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.
