- Book Synopsis
- <b>This evocative and gripping investigative look into romantic relationships between incarcerated people and their spouses on the outside "is impossible to put down" (<i>The Globe and Mail</i>, Toronto).</b> <p></p>What is it like to fall in love with someone in prison? <p></p>Over the course of five years, Elizabeth Greenwood followed the ups and downs of five couples who met during incarceration. In <i>Love in the Time of Incarceration</i>, she pulls back the curtain on the lives of the husbands and wives supporting some of the 2.3 million people in prisons around the United States. In the vein of <i>Modern Love</i>, this book shines a light on how these relationships reflect the desire and delusion we <i>all</i> experience in our romantic pairings. <p></p><i>Love in the Time of Incarceration</i> infiltrates spaces many of us have only heard whispers of--from conjugal visits to prison weddings to relationships between the incarcerated themselves. "A tour de force of empathetic nonfiction storytelling" (Vanessa Grigoriadis, author of <i>Blurred Lines</i>), <i>Love in the Time of Incarceration</i> changes the way you look at the American prison system and perhaps relationships in general. <p></p>Previously published as <i>Love Lockdown</i>.
