Nancy Pearl, “George & Lizzie”

Nancy Pearl comments on books regularly on NPR’s Morning Edition. Her debut novel, "George and Lizzie," is rich and engaging portrait of a perfectly imperfect marriage. George and Lizzie are a couple, meeting as college students and marrying soon after graduation, but no one would ever describe them of being soulmates. After a decade of marriage, nothing has changed. But when George discovers that Lizzie has been searching for an old boyfriend, Lizzie is forced to decide what love means to her, what George means to her, and whether her life with George is the one she wants.
