Interesting memoir about a woman whose husband cheated on her and how she came to discover it and deal with the unraveling of her marriage. What keeps the book from being wholly mopey is that the author has a keen awareness of her own faults in both her marriage and in her friendships. She talks often about her own neediness, for example, and she's self-deprecating at times--she's very likable, and as she says, people tell her she writes good emails, so she must be a good writer. Recommended if you want a book that takes, at most, two days to read and has an interesting topic.
I read this in my American Ethnic Literature class. If I remember correctly, we started with this text, which was better than starting with the several African American texts we read. At this point in my life, I hadn't read anything about this culture, so it was good to learn something new. I found the mix of myth and fiction interesting.
