Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Open House comes a brilliant novel that charts the days and nights of a family whose normalcy has been shattered by resentment and infidelity.
When is a marriage worth saving and when is it best to let go? When do half-truths turn into full-blown lies? When does betrayal end and passion begin?
Say When is a compelling, complex novel that takes readers into the heart of a modern marriage where companionship and intimacy, and denial and pain, so often collide. “Of course he knew she was seeing someone,” begins the story of Frank Griffin, a man who’s willing to overlook his wife’s infidelity for the sake of keeping his family intact. But when the forty-year-old Ellen requests a divorce on the basis that she has finally found true, romantic love, Griffin must decide whether to fight or flee...or search elsewhere for the kind of life he always dreamed of.
With Elizabeth Berg’s trademark blend of rare insight, raw emotion, and hard-won wisdom, Say When is a work of startling revelation that no reader will soon forget.
Customer Reviews
Liked it okay
I liked the book and thought that it did a good job on character development of the husband and wife. The "voice" of the 8 years old daughter changed quite a bit: in the beginning she sounds like a smart-mouthed teenager, midway through she adopts a lisp, by the end she sounds like a tween. Bottom line, this was a nice easy read and I will look for something else to read from this author.
Money back, please
Slow. Wordy. Waste of my money. Would like it back. Wish she used fewer words, more plot.
