Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. Recommended by 10 sources.
“By Tayari Jones, this is a close, emotionally precise novel about newlyweds whose lives are disrupted when one partner is arrested and imprisoned. The book’s strength is its patient attention to how everyday intimacy, career hopes, and social pressure fracture under legal catastrophe, delivered in sharp scenes and moral tension. Its main limitation is a slower middle that dwells on consequences and interior debate; readers seeking plot momentum or clear closure may find that deliberation repetitive or unsatisfying.”
