They are young, they are in love. They are married and trying for a child. Sounds like the perfect marriage — doesn’t it? The problem is, they are also black. Tayari Jones’s An American Marriage is about more than marriage: It’s a human drama about the effects of wrongful incarceration and racial injustice in the USA.
