"A big, complicated portrait of marriage, culture, family, and love. . . . Every minute I was away from this book I was longing to be back in the world she created." --Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder
"Riveting. [The Newlyweds] succeeds based on Freudenberger's uncanny ability to feel her way inside Amina's skin." --Los Angeles Times
"A delight, one of the easiest book recommendations of the year. . . . The cross-cultural tensions and romance so well drawn here recall the pleasures of Monica Ali's Brick Lane and Helen Simonson's Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. . . . The Newlyweds offers a reading experience redolent of Janeite charms: gentle touches of social satire, subtly drawn characters and dialogue that expresses far more than its polite surface. . . . On either side of the world, making a marriage work demands casting off not just old lovers, but cherished fantasies about who we are. Whether these two alien lovebirds can--or should--do that is the question Freudenberger poses so beguilingly." --The Washington Post
