In this wise and intimate new book, Sharon Olds tells the story of a divorce, embracing strands of love, sex, sorrow, memory, and new freedom.
As she carries us through the seasons when her marriage was ending, Olds opens her heart to the reader, sharing the feeling of invisibility that comes when we are no longer standing in love?s sight; the surprising physical bond that still exists between a couple during parting; the loss of everything from her husband?s smile to the set of his hip; the radical change in her sense of place in the world.
