Wellness

Wellness follows Jack and Elizabeth from young love to a strained marriage. At first, each watches the other from a different building in Chicago. They then meet, fall in love, and wed. Twenty years later, they feel far apart. Hurts from childhood now put their bond at risk. So do their unmet hopes for their work lives. Facebook fuels strife in the world around them. Support groups hide cults. Friends suggest polyamory, or having more than one love partner.

Nathan Hill’s novel is for readers drawn to marriage and modern life. He uses humor and irony to probe their search for meaning. He also explores their drive to make each part of life better. Bookzone brought out this edition in Romanian in 2024.
