This novel is a good example of women's fiction, diving right into the protagonist's problem with the opening lines when she says to her husband of more that 25 years:
"John, you can't be serious."
"I'm sorry."
"But a divorce! How can you...?"
He can and does, refuses to discuss his reasons other than to say he is unhappy, and away the story goes, through the emotional and legal problems, money problems, a total life change that involves their two grown children, the sale of the house, the search for stability, and misunderstandings with friends, and all the other awful things that happen in this sort of situation. Some you may guess at, others you won't. The wife who thought her marriage was a good one has to find a new self image, and it isn't easy. Well, it couldn't be, could it? This novel kept me turning the pages.
