A Must Listen

“To say that Kate Nason's memoir is the story of how a woman survived her husband's infidelity is like saying plants need water. That is obvious. But there is so, so, so much more. This is the story of how a woman learns to trust herself. How she learns to use whatever means (for Kate it's the Mother Mary and the poet Rumi, for me, for you, it will be something different) to look deeply at her own misfortunes, to grow from them, to point fingers only where fingers should be pointed and to offer forgiveness where forgiveness is due. Kate could have made this about a famous mistress, but by not doing so she rises above the tell-alls who seem to blame for fame. Her self-insight, humor, expressions of love to her children and her friends are beautifully rendered in the words and in the voice. This memoir is a must-listen for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, for any budding memoirist (that's me) and for anyone who simply wants to hear a good story.”
