Notes on a marriage - marie lavoie

Fans of Marian Keyes, Elizabeth Gilbert and Helen Fielding will find themselves nodding along to this portrait of a middle-aged woman emerging from the ruins of one life, and starting over again.

After twenty-five years my marriage just blew up in my face.

On a good day, I take a sledgehammer to my house between swigs of white wine.

Im a total mess.

Dianes humiliation comes thick and fast.

For starters, her husband is having an affair with a younger woman.

Of course he is.

But whats worse is that hes blaming her.

Youve become boring , he says.

And thats that.

Or is it? With the help of her best friend, Claudine, Diane embarks on a journey to discover a new life.

Witty, sharp and emotionally rich, this is a story about freedom and identity and how its never too late to put yourself first.

Writing that makes us fall in love from the very first page.

- Huffington Post Quebec Fresh, funny, and a lot of fun to read.

- Consumed by Ink Wacky, scathing humour, good dialogue and assuredly lively.

- Le Devoir With great humour and tenderness, Marie Lavoie recounts Dianes journey to regain trust in both herself and the people around her .

A piercing commentary on gender, marriage, and the nuances of self-love.

- Toronto Life Funny and absurd, but underlined with a tenderness and poignancy that will have you rooting for happily ever after after that.

- Pickle Me This A great read.

Relatable and a page turner, Id recommend this book.
