This week for Spotlight Sunday, I’m reviewing the Audible original Atomic Marriage by Curtis Sittenfeld. The story is about a movie executive, who is trying to convince an author to let them make a movie about his atomic doctrine. This doctrine is advice on marriage and how to make it a lasting success.
This short story was a quick listen. I managed to finish it while cooking dinner for my family. It is 58 minutes, but I listened at 2x speed. I will admit I didn’t read anything about the story before picking it. A lot of the time with my Audible Originals, I pick based on the catchiest titles. I was pleasantly surprised with this title. I enjoyed the story and it also made me look at my marriage and the standards I hold for it. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that Diane Lane was the narrator. I caught it more on my second listen.
I give this title 4 out of 5 stars.
