An "auto-biography" of a marriage from the highly acclaimed author who deftly navigates the lives of one suburban couple with humor and insight
From a '74 Mustang to a Chevy Suburban, Debra Galant's Cars from A Marriage charts the important events--big and small--in one couple's relationship by way of the automobiles that drive them throughout the course of their lives. Ivy is a transplanted Southern belle--the daughter of a car salesman-- who continually wonders how she has ended up a New Jersey stay-at-home mom with a not-so-secret fear of driving. Her husband Ellis was a stand up comedian when they met, and the owner of that '74 Mustang, but his ambitions were overshadowed by the responsibilities of a family. In the blink of an eye he became a PR executive with a mortgage, two kids, and a Buick LeSabre.
The cars steer us from their first meeting, to their first fight, and down the line to a family funeral. Finally, it's on a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway that Ivy and Ellis come to some serious and illuminating realizations about their lives. With insights that alternate between hilarious and profound, Galant provides a unique, unforgettable portrait of a marriage.
