Since November 2009Book News: The Good Divorce Guide by Cristina Odone
July 1st, 2009 by Chloe
Author Cristina Odone is back this year with another new novel called The Good Divorce Guide. I wasn’t too much of a fan of her debut book “The Dilemma’s of Harriet Carew” but maybe this one will fare better for me. Here’s the synopsis:
“The story of feisty mother, Rosie Martin, who is determined to manage her divorce in the best way possible. When Rosie Martin discovers that Jonathan, her husband of 15 years, is having an affair, she feels that her world is falling apart. That is, until she realises that she’s actually fallen out of love with him, too. So Rosie and Jonathan decide to go their separate ways, determined to be civilised about their divorce, for the sake of the children — in short, to have a ‘good divorce’! But even the best of intentions and the most mature of objectives can be no match for external forces. Cue the rest of the world, where divorce is always a dirty word. Everyone and everything seems determined to conspire to make this divorce bitter — the lawyer, the estate agent, the botox man, the friends, not least their respective families! ‘The Good Divorce Guide’ is a touching, witty story about starting afresh and learning to find your own way in life, no matter what anyone says. “
Look out for it in the shops from 15th October published by HarperPress.
