Wellness
‘The best book I’ve read all year’ – Elizabeth Day, author of Magpie
‘An immersive, multi-layered portrait of a marriage . . . a work of quiet genius’ – The Observer
An Oprah’s Book Club Pick, from the acclaimed author of The Nix.
Moving from the gritty 90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness is a thought-provoking exploration of modern love and our tech-obsessed health culture.
When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the 90s, the two quickly join forces, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit.
Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.
Nathan Hill’s Wellness mines the absurdities of modern technology and love to reveal profound, startling truths about intimacy and connection, reimagining the love story with healthy doses of insight, irony and heart.
‘The incredible scope of this dazzlingly detailed state-of-the-nation satire almost defies description . . . Brilliant doesn’t begin to describe it, but I’ll say it anyway’ – Daily Mail
‘I doubt I’ll enjoy many books this year as much as Wellness‘ – The Times
