Divorce: An Oral Portrait

by George Feifer

Overview

No matter how many divorced people you know, when you face the demoralizing prospect or grim reality, you feel alone in the world. Realizing you're not—that many have undergone precisely your torment—is among this book's many virtues. No divorced or divorcing sufferers will fail to find their own shock, pain and sense of failure and betrayal in these honest, deeply moving accounts by a wide range of men and women, rich and poor, angry and bewildered. They provide the reassurance of community that is needed for strength and healing; sometimes, it seems, for the will to endure.
