What to expect
'Addictively readable. Absorbing, bittersweet' Pandora Sykes
Gripping and emotional, THE DIVORCE explores the unravelling of a marriage from first the wife, then the husband's point of view.
Together for more than thirty years, Bea and Niklas live a comfortable life in Stockholm. But one evening, following a trivial argument, Niklas disappears. Weeks pass before it emerges that he has met someone else. To Bea's horror, he insists they must divorce.
But is this divorce really coming out of the blue? Is the person who does the leaving always the one at fault? What emerges once you begin scratching the surface?
'Compelling, emotional, thought-provoking'

SALLY KOSLOW
'Pulls back a curtain on a long marriage, a close family, and in one moment reveals the devastating truth that has been hiding in plain sight. Moa Herngren writes with such compassion and insight, bringing the characters so vividly to life that their emotions and passions become our own. I love this novel'
