pickA really interesting read. The author‘s husband had an affair with one of her closest friends. She has written about the betrayal and aftermath years after the event. She also traces the infidelities that run through four generations of her husband‘s family and asks the question as to whether infidelity has a generational aspect. Part memoir, part family history and part essay about life in general, I really enjoyed this book.
pickSo much in this book that I could relate to. A very good read. We are enjoying some beautiful weather, best bit no wind, so I spent the afternoon reading.
pickThe first half of this memoir was engrossing. Legge reflects on her ex-husband‘s infidelity and poses questions around what makes people have affairs, interrogating the idea that such behaviour might be inherited.
The second half was a more meandering memoir, and in my view, not as interesting. Her writing is very good though.
