The Year of the End

A Memoir of Marriage, Truth and Fiction

De: Anne Theroux

Narrado por: Anne Theroux

‘This memoir is based on the diary I kept during 1990, the year that my first marriage came to an end.’

After 22 years, spent across four continents, with two children - Louis and Marcel - in 1990, Anne and Paul Theroux decided to separate.

For that year, Anne - later a professional relationship therapist herself - kept a diary, noting not only her day-to day experiences as a busy freelance journalist and broadcaster but the contrasts in her feelings between despairing grief and hope for a new future.

With reflections on truth and fiction, literature and art and the nature of marriage, alongside commentary on notable political and cultural events, and interviews with prominent writers of the time, including Kingsley Amis and Barbara Cartland, The Year of the End offers a unique insight into the unravelling of a relationship and the attempts to rebuild a life.

Loved this

I enjoyed listening to the author speak plainly and frankly about her marriage to a complicated man. He was so good at his unfaithfulness to her that he cleverly managed to make her feel guilty for HIS infidelity.
