520    Cultural critic Roiphe delves deeply into one of the most 
       layered of subjects: marriage. Drawn in part from the 
       private memoirs, personal correspondence, and long-
       forgotten journals of the British literary community from 
       1910 to the Second World War, here are seven "marriages à 
       la mode"--each rising to the challenge of intimate 
       relations in more or less creative ways: H.G. and Jane 
       Wells; Katherine Mansfield; Vera Brittain and George 
       Gordon Catlin; Vanessa and Clive Bell; and Vanessa's 
       sister Virginia Woolf, herself no stranger to marital 
       particularities, who sustained a brilliant running 
       commentary on the most intimate details of those around 
       her. Every chapter revolves around a crisis that occurred 
       in each of these marriages, and how it was resolved--or 
       not. In these portraits, Roiphe evokes "the fluctuations 
       and shifts in attraction, the mysteries of lasting 
       affection, the endurance and changes in love, and the role
       of friendship in marriage."--From publisher description.
