<p>'One cannot fail to be entranced by Legge's bone-deep strength and wisdom.'<br> <b>Annabel Crabb</b><br> <br> 'Unflinchingly investigating the value of monogamy and the true cost of betrayal.'<br> <b>Trent Dalton</b><br> <br> What do you do when your partner's infidelity upends your life? When you confront living on your own? In amongst parents dying, careers ending and becoming a grandparent?<br> <br> As a journalist, Kate Legge often seeks answers to how people reckon with bad luck or bad decisions. When faced with her husband's affair, she discovered a fault line of betrayal running through four generations<br> of his family, which began a search for answers both close to home and more universally.<br> <br> <i>Infidelity and Other Affairs</i> begins with this puzzle: is unfaithfulness a predisposition or a learned behaviour? From there, Legge contemplates a vast catalogue of behaviours as she strives to understand how we<br> become who we are.<br> <br> To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace over revenge and hate, as well as joy in unexpected places.<br> <br> 'There is a list of words a reviewer - I mean me - will never use. One is "brave". I'm breaking this rule. There is no word more apt than brave for Kate Legge's <i>Infidelity and Other Affairs</i>.' -<i><b>The Age</b></i><br> <br> 'A wonderfully thoughtful, mature and somewhat eclectic exploration of the breakdown of a marriage and Legge's endurance through and beyond it ... Legge has a gift of illuminating the ordinary, forcing us to take a closer look at the banal, everyday beauty that surrounds us.' -<i><b>The Conversation</b></i><br> <br> <b>*Ebook available through all major etailers*</b></p>
