Thorina Rose's husband unexpectedly began an affair with a woman whose photograph he'd taken (he's a photographer) and who became his "running partner." The "Heartbreak Diet" starts here and follows Thorina, and her children, through the dissolution of the marriage and finding their footing together in the aftermath with resourceful strength and humour. In beautiful black and white painted panels and lovely handlettering, this personal and playfully illustrated memoir charts the realities of the all-too-common situation of divorce with children. Interspersed are occasional quotations from wise women (Ella Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, Dolly Parton.) It earns every laugh and tug of the heartstrings.
