Hourglass by Dani Shapiro.
Dani Shapiro examines marriage through the workings of memory and the passage of time. Love and sorrow belong to the same account rather than to separate versions of a shared life.
Read it for the difficulty of describing a relationship from within. It offers a discussion of how people remain recognizable to one another while time changes both the partners and the story they tell.
