What happens next pushes the boundaries of friendship, marriage, and parenthood.Sarah Ruhl is a wonderful writer with an incredible imagination and, with How to Transcend a Happy Marriage, she has given us a story that is both profoundly human and fantastically mythical and magical at the same time.
