You may have missed this New York Times Book Review Notable Book when it came out in hardcover, but do not miss it now that it has appeared in paper. Professor Chesterfield’s best advice to Julian Wainwright was to “Write what you Know about what you don’t know or what you don’t know about what you know.” It’s wonderful advice and Henkin followed it in Matrimony, thus crafting the perfect antidote to all that beach reading that filled up your summer months: the absolute right thing to curl up with, in front of the fire this fall. It's not a great book but it's a very good one, and it will surely keep you reading late into the night.
