Why read it?

1 author picked The Divorce as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is is a masterful example of the power of multiple points of view. For the entire first half of the book, I thought the husband was a complete jerk, and there didn't seem to be any way to redeem his character; then, we switch into his point of view, and suddenly I saw everything differently. Although very little happens in this book in terms of plot (spoiler alert, they get a divorce!), there is so much going on emotionally and character-wise, that I found myself completely immersed and could not stop reading.
