**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2026**

A long-time love, now a crumbling marriage, unfolds in 29 'tangos' of narrative verse.

The unnamed narrator - sometimes 'I', sometimes 'the wife' - speaks of the man she calls only 'the husband', illuminating moments that are by turn sensual, erotic, painful and heart-breaking.

The Beauty of the Husband is a work that explores these oldest of lyrical subjects - beauty, desire, love, betrayal - with freshness and devastating power, informed by the romanticism of Keats, the wisdom of the classical world and, most importantly, by Carson's own unique sensibility.

**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**
