One cannot fail to be entranced by Legge's bone-deep strength and wisdom." Annabel Crabb "Unflinchingly investigating the value of monogamy and the true cost of betrayal." Trent Dalton What do you do when your partner's infidelity upends your life? When you have to face up to your own addictions? Mental illnesses rain down on those you love? Parents die, careers end, love is found in unexpected places. As a journalist, Kate Legge often sought answers to how people reckon with bad hands dealt or bad decisions. Then came her own search when faced with her husband's affair that unearthed a fault line of unfaithfulness running through four generations of his family. Is infidelity a predisposition or learned behaviour? Infidelity and Other Affairs starts with this puzzle then contemplates life's curveballs as Legge strives to understand how we become who we are. To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace where revenge and hate were imagined.
