This book looks a one woman's experience of finding her marriage, suddenly and unexpectedly, at an end. This is a common occurrence, but one that is rarely widely discussed. We see a very raw portrayal of Diane's emotions and behaviour when her husband of many years leaves her because he's "bored". In spite of dealing with heavy issues of shock and betrayal, the book is often laugh-out-loud funny as we watch Diane attempt to construct her "new normal". The ending is perfect....happy, but not all wrapped up. Il faut commencer par préciser qu’il s’agit d’un livre québécois. Ici, une femme plate, ce n’est pas une femme qui porterait des bonnets A, mais une femme inintéressante et terne. Car ce livre est truffé de ces petits régionalismes qui donnent une délicieuse couleur à cette autopsie. L’histoire d’une femme quittée par son mari, et qui se retrouve seule et se sent justement bien… plate. Une introspection au bord de la chick-lit, un livre sur le désespoir et le sentiment d’abandon. C’est chou et tendre et ça touche le fond, sans pour autant réussir à y rebondir. Ça goûte vrai et c’en est encore plus drôle keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Like a Québécois Bridget Jones's Diary, Marie-Renée Lavoie's Autopsy of a Boring Wife tells the hysterically funny and ultimately touching tale of forty-eight-year-old Diane, a woman whose husband leaves her and is having an affair because, he says, she bores him. Diane takes the charge to heart and undertakes an often ribald, highly entertaining journey to restoring trust in herself and others that is at the same time an astute commentary on women and girls, gender differences, and the curious institution of marriage in the twenty-first century. All the details are up for scrutiny in this tender, brisk story of the path to recovery. Autopsy of a Boring Wife is a wonderfully fresh and engaging novel of the pitfalls and missteps of an apparently "boring" life that could be any of ours. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I liked the story. It was particularly remarkable for me, as I am another of the women of the world who were broken up with for a much-younger woman. It was such a hard time, and I was made to feel like I had lost all of my interesting character and all of my sex appeal. This book made me realize how far I've come since that dreadful day almost exactly a decade ago, and how glad I am no longer to be with a man who thought so little of me. ( )
