Iris Krasnow's first book, Surrendering to Motherhood: Losing Your Mind, Finding Your Soul, was about yielding to the higher power of childrearing. In Surrendering to Marriage, Krasnow offers a raw and penetrating portrait of modern marriage, and the backbreaking work required to make it last. With joyous, sexy, and shocking stories of real marriages, real affairs, and real divorces, Surrendering to Marriage moves far beyond a how-to manual on 25 ways to make your marriage hot again; Krasnow has written a how-to book on surrendering to the reality that even the best of marriages cause as much misery as happiness.

As she puts it, "Being married happily-ever-after doesn't guarantee that we get to be happy. When we expect sustained happiness we get sustained disappointment--or divorce." Indeed, the author shows us time and time again that the basic components of a successful marriage have little to do with bursts of bliss and everything to do with letting go of fantasy and embracing the ordinary grind in our relationships, a surrender that is wholly and unexpectedly fulfilling.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
