Divorcing Desmond

Desmond believes in being prepared.

For weather, for travel, for minor symptoms and unlikely disasters. For everything, in fact, except the possibility that his marriage might end.

After eleven years of careful living, his wife begins to notice the cost of a life organised around what might go wrong – and what it means to be seen not as a person but as a problem to be managed.

Divorcing Desmond is a darkly funny story about caution, control and the quiet courage of choosing a less supervised life.
