Le Divorce (William Abrahams Book) 121 reviews Diane Johnson
Plume, 2003
Better than the movie
This beautiful book is so much better than the movie. The ending is completely different. Like Diane Johnson's other novels, she expects her reader to be educated in literature, not just Voltaire and other French writers, but American ones, too, and even ancient Greek philosophers. If you ...

Harbor House (GA), 2007
A Beautiful, Heart-Wrenching Book: Don't Skip the Epilogue!!!
+ Though provoking - excellent read!
