Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

When historian and social critic Barbara Dafoe Whitehead first cast her eye on divorce--in an "Atlantic Monthly" article entitled "Dan Quayle Was Right"--she provoked a firestorm of media debate. Here, she has deepened and broadened her view of an American institution in a book of watershed importance.


Review:

"An eloquent diatribe against divorce as an entitlement in which the interests of other 'stakeholders,' particularly children, are subordinated to the enhancement of self."

Kirkus, 11/15/1996

Review:

"Whitehead's most interesting contribution, a nuanced analysis summarizing what we know about the effects of divorce on children, is in the area of cultural criticism. She rightly detects a massive cultural shift to divorce on the popular level....Whitehead rightly calls this the Love Family Model. But the Love Family turns out to be unstable."

Times Literary Supplement, 06/06/1997
