#7 The Year of the End by Anne Theroux After 22 years, spent across four continents, with two children – Louis and Marcel – in 1990 Anne and Paul Theroux decided to separate.
For that year, Anne – later a professional relationship therapist herself – kept a diary, noting not only her day-to day experiences as a busy freelance journalist and broadcaster, but the contrasts in her feelings between despairing grief and hope for a new future.
I thought this book was about a woman, looking back at a time of her life via her diary, to try to better understand a very painful experience. The diary entries were trivial - Went to the store. The emotional reflection just wasn't there. Her husband was a famous writer who had many affairs. Then he got mad when she had one. I didn't care about what happened to either of them.
