Breakup: the End of a Love Story
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Doubleday Books
- Publish date: 08/17/1998
Description:
Breakup is the erotically charged chronicle of the tempestuous final months of an eighteen-year romantic and literary partnership, self-destructing in the aftermath of the ultimate betrayal. Texier writes in harrowing detail about the powerful sexual relationship she shared with her husband even during their breakup, how sex between them became a substitute for real intimacy, and how the fabric of a marriage (a shared cup of cafe au lait on a yellow table every morning, the birth of two glorious daughters, the founding of their own literary magazine) is brutally dissolved. Every emotion, including rage, disgust, self-pity, hatred, sympathy, and jealousy, is mined.
Expand description
Ultimately, Breakup is about the risks a great passion involves. It is a journey of the heart in all its wild beating -- a courageous diary of a soul laid bare and of the redemptive power of love.
