So insightful...I could hardly put it down!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Passion for More: Wives Reveal the Affairs That Make or Break Their Marriages (Paperback)
This is the most intriguing book on infidelity and women ever written. Barash, a professor of gender studies, interviews hundreds of women on why and how they conducted extramarital affairs. While she is not judgmental, her journalistic endeavor is such that one cannot help but imagine every nuance of these trysts and the complications it sets forth in these women's lives. The book is divided into four sections: Empowering Affairs, Self-Esteem Affairs, Love Affairs and Sex Driven Affairs. Barash takes a look at each kind of affair and gives an explanation for the woman's choice. Her percentages are interesting also, 25% of the women leave for the lover, almost half remain in their marriages and renegotiate the marriage, and almost all lovers are the opposite of the husbands. A highly recommended book, well written and insightful.

This review is from: A Passion for More: Wives Reveal the Affairs That Make or Break Their Marriages (Paperback)
While reading "A Passion for More," I learned so much more about married women who take lovers. A subject I find truly fascinating. I found the subject matter intriguing and was glued to the book till I finished it. Being a woman, I can honestly say that I can understand how these women feel. Reading this book was a valuable and enlightening experience. I can't wait for her next book.
