A NOVEL

百年婚約暨為文學享受亦是文化研究，

一本讀來令人愉悅的歷史小說。

—— 華盛頓郵報

暢銷小說《當驪歌響起》（Commencement）以及《緬因》（Maine）作者回歸文壇鉅作。本書以一九四七年寫出 De Beers 經典文案「鑽石恆久遠，一顆永留傳。」（A Diamond Is Forever）的廣告文案法蘭西絲．吉雷迪（Frances Gerety）的真實故事為引，寫出四段獨特的婚姻，一串橫跨百年的愛情故事，並藉以試煉這句名言是否經得起時間的重重考驗。帶領讀者一同體驗愛情世界的悲歡離合，過去、現在與永恆。

"The Engagements is a delightful marriage

of cultural research and literary entertainment."

—The Washington Post

The bestselling author of Maine returns with an exhilarating novel about Frances Gerety, the real pioneering ad woman who coined the famous slogan "A Diamond is Forever," and four unique marriages that will test how true—or not—those words might be.

Evelyn has been married to her husband for forty years, but their son's messy divorce has put them at rare odds; James, a beleaguered paramedic, has spent most of his marriage haunted by his wife's family's expectations; Delphine has thrown caution to the wind and left a peaceful French life for an exciting but rocky romance in America; and Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen every kind of wedding and has vowed never, ever, to have one of her own. As the stories connect to each other and to Frances's legacy in surprising ways, The Engagements explores the complicated ins and outs of relationships, then, now, and forever.
