The Uncoupling

What if every woman in town suddenly went on strike?

Reviews

  • "Delightful and heartbreaking"

    David Baddiel, The Times

  • "Her writing is effortlessly readable"

    Lucy Scholes, Sunday Times

  • "A novel that tingles with playfulness and wicked observation"

    Independent

  • "There are lots of sharp insights on the generation gap, the pseudo-intimacy generated by the internet, and American high-school life; Wolitzer displays perfect comic timing in her awkward chats between jocular teachers and mortified teens"

    Guardian

  • "Highly entertaining and a serious page-turner. Wolitzer's humour and language create a compelling read"

    Aesthetica
