Synopsis
His first clue comes when his wife stops holding his hand in public. The second comes when she starts avoiding him at home. After the clues comes the certainty: his wife is in love with another man. After that, the only question is when she will leave him -- and whether he will drive her to it.
A bestseller in France, this cruel, tender, and emotionally explosive novel reimagines the breakup of a marriage with a compassion that is all the more piercing for its understatement. And although the setting is unmistakably Paris, this vision of the blistering loss of love transcends all boundaries.

From the Back Cover
"A remarkable portrait of a man floundering among love, pain; generosity, and rage... [Separation] builds up a momentum, a precision, and a savagery worthy of a Feydeau farce."
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review"A spare, elegant journal of the agony of rejection... with an emotional resonance that goes beyond generation or gender."
-- Washington Post Book World
"An eloquent, bitter poem of loss. Devastating."
-- Josephine Hart, author of Damage
