About Books, July 4, 2009

Laura Dave writes about two women in "The Divorce Party." One is looking forward to marriage and one is ending her marriage. They and their partners and friends meet at a divorce party. Usually divorce parties are held by a woman to celebrate her independence but this one is hosted by both the husband and wife and the results are very interesting. So is the setting (Montauk, Long Island) and the descriptions of food. I hate the saying a book would be "good summer reading" but this one would be. Jennifer Aniston has optioned is for a film to be released in 2010.

I LOVED The Divorce Party. Thank you for bringing attention to this lovely book about a family struggling to stay together.
