内容简介:
“I feel like I’ve joined an enormous club, something like the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. We are weary with battle fatigue and
sometimes even gripped by nostalgia for the good old, bad old days,
but our numbers are large,” writes Theo Pauline Nestor in this wry,
fiercely honest chronicle of life after divorce.
Less than an hour after confronting her husband over his massive
gambling losses, Theo banishes him from their home forever. With
two young daughters to support and her life as a stay-at-home
mother at an abrupt end, Nestor finds herself slipping from
“middle-class grace” as she attends a court-ordered custody class,
stumbles through job interviews, and–much to her surprise–falls in
love once again. As Theo rebuilds her life and recovers her sense
of self, she’s forced to confront her own family’s legacy of
divorce. “I’m from a long line of stock market speculators, artists
of unmarketable talents, and alcoholics,” writes Nestor. “The
higher, harder road is not our road. We move, we divorce, we drink,
or we disappear.”
Nestor’s journey takes her deep into her family’s past, to a tiny
village in Mexico, where she discovers the truth about how her
sister ended up living in a convent there after their parents
divorced in the early sixties. What she learns ultimately brings
her closer to understanding her own divorce and its impact on her
two daughters. “I knew from experience that for children divorce
means half the world is constantly eclipsed. When you’re with one
parent, the other must always slip out of view,” Nestor
writes.
Funny, openhearted, and brave, How to Sleep Alone in a King-Size
Bed will speak to anyone who has passed through the halls of
divorce court or risked tenderness after loss. It marks the debut
of an enchanting, deeply truthful voice.
From the Hardcover edition.

媒体评论
"Theo has a big heart, a real feeling for the pain and
craziness of human life."
—Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes
“Theo Nestor has an uncommon ability to evoke common yet very
intense emotions. How to Sleep Alone in a King-Size Bed is smart,
astringent, funny, precise, candid, and possesses not an ounce of
self-pity.”
—David Shields, author of The Thing About Life Is That One Day
You’ll Be Dead
“Heartbreakingly honest, wryly funny, and revelatory . . .
[Nestor’s] clever and relatable prose makes her tale endearing and
insightful, and she sidesteps the clichés of a woman wounded with
bittersweet honesty.”
—LadiesHomeJournal.com
“A divorced mother’s funny, chatty, revealing take on
Splitsville–with just enough anguish and sadness to be utterly
believable...An unexpected treat here is a vivid portrait of the
author's thrice-married, utterly nonmaternal but generous
mother...Women going through the pain and turmoil of separation and
divorce will appreciate Nestor’s candor and wit. Not another slick
how-to, but a comforting reminder that life goes on after the
spouse is gone.” —Kirkus
From the Hardcover edition.
