The Sealed Letter - Emma Donoghue
I picked this one up from the library because I thoroughly enjoyed another book of Donoghue's, Slammerkin.
This one is about Helen Codrington and her friend Emily Faithfull, known to her friends as Fido. Helen has never been happy with her husband, and has been unfaithful with other men. Finally her husband manages to catch wind of the fact that she has been fooling around. She's not completely discrete about it. Anyways, he wants a divorce and the book focuses on the details of the court proceedings.
I never know how much to say in my little synopses about the books since I don't want to give anything away.
The book was entertaining and it didn't take me long to get through it. I thought that the ending was really well done. I actually said "A-ha!" at the end. I don't know whether I recommend this book or not. If you like historical fiction, you'll probably enjoy it.
