About This Book

Two inexperienced young people confront idealized notions of purity and the physical reality of desire as they enter marriage. The narrative traces their mutual attraction, the bride's nervous curiosity and the groom's long struggle between ascetic ideals and yearning, and the vows they exchange to protect one another's integrity. Intimate interior reflection alternates with sensuous natural description to show how upbringing, personal longing and social expectations shape their hopes for conjugal happiness and the fragile belief that marriage can reconcile bodily needs with moral ideals.
