Heartballs

“The Wedding March always reminds me of the music that plays when soldiers are marching into battle,” said the lyric poet Heinrich Heine, unwittingly and perfectly capturing the essence of the book Heartburn in advance. It’s the story of a marriage that begins with a magnificent flourish and ends on the battlefield. It’s a story full of passion, intrigue, desire, jealousy, sex, panic about ageing, personal immaturity, lies and vengefulness. It’s a story for all of you who already know that marriage isn’t a duel. Because a duel can be won.
