highly recommended
Very well written and appropriate for the late 1990's
I thought that A
WOMAN
'S
PLACE
was very well written and timely. One of Delinsky's few books that did not have a "happy" ending in the sense of all's well that ends well. Its ending of compromise reflects the compromises that most of us have to make today. Things don't always work out the way we want them to and we don't always do things as well as we would like. The book made me think about the changing roles of women within the family dynamic. The setting, especially the introduction of the lighthouse, was excellent and the story was riveting. The smallest details picked up the nuances of everyday family life and the book was very realistic as well as being a great story

A woman's husband sues her for divorce,custodt and alimony
Claire Raphael is a supermom. She raised her two children (Johnny and Kikit) while helping her husband Dennis with his career. At the same time, Claire has been successful in converting a hobby into a national franchise business, Wickerwise. When she returns from visiting her dying mother in Ohio, Claire is shocked to be served with divorce papers claiming that her business has forced her to abandon her family. Dennis demands alimony, custody of the children, and child support. As Claire and Dennis face each other across a courtroom, they both obtain comfort in the arms of other people. Claire turns to her business partner, sensitive Brody Parth. Dennis turns to his attorney for solace. The hearings are before Judge Selwey, who knows the proper
place
for a
woman
. As the separated spouses spar with each other, the obvious victims appear to be their children. Claire knows that she must think of their welfare first, but will that cost her their love and her dignity? A WOMAN'S PLACE is an interesting analysis of gender reversal in the legal system. Claire is the breadwinner struggling to keep some legal rights in raising her children. Barbara Delinsky writes a very fascinating tale that will remind readers of KRAMER vs. Kramer. Harriet Klausner
