Public Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation
by
by
Some interesting history and a few parts definitely stick out as great, but overall it's written in too much of a numbingly dry fashion to be enjoyable on any level. This is (sadly) the kind of book that people are forced to read in school, which then turns them away from reading in general after school is finished.
Would be best to use as a source for a paper, but certainly not great for a cover-to-cover read.
Still, the history of marriage in America is humorous and sad, and this book will help you formulate an educated opinion on what the institution means to you today.
