To Love, Honour And Betray (Till Divorce Us Do Part) (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Escapist fiction about a relationship breakdown from hell which is quite funny although from time to time tries to be a bit too clever with too many witicisms. Occasionally a middle class tone creeps in, too, which jars (literary references to Jane Eyre). Don't think an Aussie sheila from Cronulla, Sydney, would actually use the word 'pudenda' either. Seems to be written for a British audience with Australian stereotypes (and evil divorce lawyer stereotypes) galore. I did wonder whether Lette actually went for her bronze medallion in surf lifesaving as these details seem well observed. Hilarious - classic one liners.Lucy�s been married for so long, her wedding certificate should be in hieroglyphics. When Jasper walks out after eighteen years, she panics. What will she do about vehicle maintenance, shifting heavy objects and Allen keys? Not to mention her rebellious teenage daughter Tally, who blames Lucy for the marital meltdown. Low self-esteem is hereditary: you get it from your kids. While Tally�s busy trying to find a loophole in her birth certificate so she can put herself up for adoption, Lucy strives to accept that a child is for life and not just for Christmas. Could teenagers be God�s punishment for having sex in the first place? This is a book about what to do when you fall in love. (Wipe it off your shoes before you walk it all over the carpet.) But above all it's a survival guide for anyone who has realized that the perfect marriage is like an orgasm � many of them are faked.
