The Heart-shaped Bullet

Having known her fiance for 11 months, the author of this book married him. Two and a half years later, he left her. She wrote about the episode in a column in "The Observer" and she examines one modern marriage in a broader context in this book. This book is an unflinching look at the breakdown of a modern marriage, vividly capturing the euphoria of falling in love, and the pain of love gone wrong.
