Synopsis
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025: Vogue, Vulture, Harper&’s Bazaar, W, Bustle, Lit Hub, The Millions &“Enigmatic, opalescent, so precise.&” —Jia Tolentino&“An investigation, an invocation, a mood.&” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post An intimate and candid account of one of the most romantic and revolutionary of relationships: divorceDivorce was everything for Haley Mlotek. As a child, she listened to her twice-divorced grandmother tell stories about her &“husbands.&” As a pre-teen, she answered the phones for her mother&’s mediation and marriage counseling practice and typed out the paperwork for couples in the process of leaving each other. She grew up with the sense that divorce was an outcome to both resist and desire, an ordeal that promised something better on the other side of something bad. But when she herself went on to marry—and then divorce—the man she had been with for twelve years, suddenly, she had to reconsider her generation&’s inherited understanding of the institution.Deftly combining her personal story with wry, searching social and literary exploration, No Fault is a deeply felt and radiant account of 21st century divorce—the remarkably common and seemingly singular experience, and what it reveals about our society and our desires for family, love, and friendship. Mlotek asks profound questions about what divorce should be, who it is for, and why the institution of marriage maintains its power, all while charting a poignant and cathartic journey away from her own marriage towards an unknown future.Brilliant, funny, and unflinchingly honest, No Fault is a kaleidoscopic look at marriage, secrets, ambitions, and what it means to love and live with uncertainty, betrayal, and hope.
