Synopsis: "Does anyone understand family life better than Avery Corman? A Perfect Divorce takes a lucky reader into the mysterious landscape of urban life, love, and childrearing with Corman's wise and all-knowing gaze." -MARIE BRENNER, Vanity Fair writer-at-large and author of Great Dames: What I Learned from Older Women Karen and Rob are the well-intentioned parents of a teenage son, Tommy, who believe they can avoid the emotional fallout of their failed two-career marriage. Both are successful individuals who have pursued other personal relationships since their divorce but have managed to stay connected through their son. When Tommy goes off the tracks, his troubles send shock waves through relationships on all sides. Staggering under the weight of his parents' expectations and need for denial, Tommy risks everything-and Avery Corman turns everyday life into a brilliant page-turning drama. Not since Kramer vs. Kramer, Corman's landmark novel and the basis for the Academy Award-winning motion picture, have truths about ourselves-about marriage, divorce, and parenting-been so accurately and emotionally dramatized.
