[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happens Every Day and the follow up, A Year and Six Seconds -- Isabel Gilles.   Actress moves to Oberlin with her professor husband who has an affair with a colleague -- they have small children and she is devastated.   Sequel is a happy ending.

All of the memoirs by Alexandra Fuller but I think Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight and Cocktail Hour under the Tree of Forgetfulness are my favorites -- growing up in Rhodesia with semi-insane British parents.   [/quote]

I also enjoyed Isabel Gillies’s books. Did you know the woman her husband left her for, they are now divorced and he is onto another professor at Oberlin lol.

To his credit, both the woman he left his wife for and now the third woman are all age appropriate. He is 55, Isabella is 54, the affair partner turned wife turned ex wife is I believe 49, and the latest woman is 48.

Yes, I have some connections to oberlin so I know all this crap. But you can verify it all on the Internet. I feel kind of bad for the affair partner turned ex wife because Oberlin is a pretty small college and it would be weird to have your ex and a new girlfriend both working there with you. I hope they are even in the same department. Awkward.

Isabel found a new husband within a year of the husband leaving her which I thought was quick , he is a writer for the New York Times, and they have been married now for like 15 years. At least their kids have one stable parent! [/quote]
