  • "This book describes a year or so in the lives of three college seniors at Brown in the early 80s. There is Madeleine, a self-described Bincurable romantic who is slightly embarrassed at being so normal. There is Leonard, a brilliant, temperamental student from the Pacific Northwest. And completing the triangle is Mitchell, a Religious Studies major from Eugenides? own Detroit. What follows is a book delivered in sincere and genuine prose, tracing the end of the students? college days and continuing into those first, tentative steps toward true adulthood. This is a thoughtful and at times disarming novel about life, love, and discovery, set during a time when so much of life seems filled with deep portent."@en
  • "It is 1982 and Madeleine Hanna, an English major, is writing her senior thesis on the marriage plot at the heart of the greatest English novels. Her life is complicated by two men, a recent acquaintance and an old friend. Over the next year events force them to reevaluate everything they learned in school."@en
  • "Madeleine Hanna was the dutiful English major who didn't get the memo. While everyone else in the early 1980s was reading Derrida, she was happily absorbed with Jane Austen and George Eliot: purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more Bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations. But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. Not after she falls in love with Leonard Morton - charismatic loner, college Darwinist, and lost Oregon boy resurfaces in her life, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate."

  • "T. i. "poročni zaplet" je vodilni motiv viktorijanskih romanov, iz katerih namerava glavna protagonistka Madelaine pisati zaključno nalogo. Je pa to tudi pomemben motiv v njenem življenju - zanjo se potegujeta dva vrstnika, tudi študenta, inteligentni Leonard in poduhovljeni Mitchell. Zgodba spremlja vse tri like skozi najbolj dramatično obdobje prehoda v odraslost, dogaja se v zgodnjih osemdesetih 20. stol. Kot je v Middlesexu dobro prikazan problem hermafroditizma, je v The Marriage plot prikazano, kako je živeti z bipolarno motnjo in kako jo doživlja okolica."
