When an upwardly mobile African-American man is wrongfully incarcerated, we expect the usual courtroom drama and prison horror. Instead, we get a thoughtful examination of what happens inside a marriage — any marriage — when two people move in different directions.
An American Marriage is among Brad Parks's top eight books set in prisons, Sara Shepard's six top stories of deception,and Julia Dahl's ten top books about miscarriages of justice.
