The Dearly Beloved follows two couples through decades of love, friendship, jealousy, understanding, forgiveness, and commitment against the backdrop of turbulent changes facing their city and church congregation. Forging an improbable path through their evolving relationships, each struggling with uncertainty, heartbreak, joy, and the ways we find meaning in our lives.
A poignant meditation on faith (in God, in family, in marriage, in friendship, in self, and in humanity), Cara Wall's The Dearly Beloved is a gorgeous, wise, and provocative novel that is destined to become a classic.
"With luminous prose and an expansive narrative that covers fifty years and two marriages, The Dearly Beloved is a novel to settle in with, to read slowly and contemplate its biggest question: where can each of us find meaning in this life?" -- Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes
