Summary: It Reads Like a Novel and Teaches Like a Textbook
Review: This is outstanding book for anyone at any stage in their life to read. It helps make sense not only of divorce, but also of marriage. The author helps us understand the continuation of marriage after divorce; and, as a result, the importance of preserving the marriage. The book should be read by everyone, but especially those contemplating marriage. And thanks to the author, everyone can read it. The book is extremely well organized and plain speaking, while illustrating some important, profound issues.

Summary: Making Marriage and Divorce Work
Review: While I consider myself to be happily married and, at this moment in time, do not wish to be divorced I nevertheless found Anita Robboy's 'Aftermarriage - The Myth of Divorce', excellent reading. It seems to me that the book is valuable and interesting on many levels for anyone who is interested in relationships, marriage or divorce.
Robboy has much to offer her reader. She has been a divorce attorney for over twenty five years, yet her easy flowing style avoids dull legal jargon, making her book highly understandable, and relavant to any reader in a relationship that is working or is failing to work.
Clearly, this book will be of immediate appeal to the divorced or those about to be divorced, but I unhesitatingly recommend it also to the married and those considering marriage.
The book emphasizes the gravity of marriage that has, for the most part been played down over recent years. People can and do enter into marriage with the idea that divorce is relatively easy to obtain - this may well prove to be true, but any notion that the end of the relationship is the divorce itself is merely a fallacy. Marriage is not something to be entered into lightly, and once there, and here I could not agree more with Robboy, one has to continually readjust to one's partner and circumstances.
Robboy's book is absolutely worth the read.
