"Listen, I... I can’t go - I don’t really think I need him sending detectives to follow me about."
When Anna uttered these words in a phone call to her lover, she did not know that her husband had already hired a private detective and that the line was tapped.
Divorce Dialogues is a gripping tale of betrayal and loyalty told in the form of fast paced dialogues among a young and beautiful mother of three, her older husband, her overbearing mother, her foul-mouthed grandmother, relatives, friends, babysitters, psychiatrists, and lawyers.
"Either you can live together, or you can’t. If you can’t, then you must separate. But you shouldn’t go through an ugly divorce. Everyone will get hurt: you, him, and the children."
Can divorce be avoided? And if not, who should get custody of the children?
Our actions were often governed by whatever role we had chosen for ourselves. Following roles is what makes for tragedies, as protagonists knowingly march on toward awful outcomes, unable to stoр.
A realistic, intricate and engaging read.
