The Marriage of True Minds

"Poignant and outrageous, moving and profound, Evans' delectable debut novel thrums with zesty dialogue and a memorably zany cast of irresistible characters."

-Booklist



"Evans demonstrates his playwright's mastery of dialogue and tension in his accomplished and whimsical first novel about love and the bizarre behavior it ignites."

-Publishers Weekly

"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds."

Lena's ex-husband and law partner Nick is charming. Erratic. Brilliant. Quixotic. And maybe Delusional.

His passion for animal and environmental rights constantly gets him in trouble. And Lena inevitably comes to his rescue. When he 'liberates' the lobsters from Minneapolis grocery stores and the only alternative is confinement, Lena even allows him to move home while he performs community service at an animal shelter. And soon she is reminded why she married him, and why they divorced. But when Nick has one more wild idea, only he can imagine how it will end.

The Marriage of True Minds is a funny and endearing tale of a partnership beyond law, beyond marriage, and possibly beyond reality.
