Produktbeschreibung
Beth Bailey thought she and her husband were working through the problems in their marriage. Simon, however, was wondering whether they even had a future together. When Simon starts an affair with the alluring Harriet, suddenly there's no way back. Beth and Simon's adorable and highly imaginative children are caught up in their parent's fighting and find their own creative solutions to some of the family's problems... Love Lose Live is a window on divorce and family breakdown in our time. It is the mad, sad, bad and hilarious story of the Bailey family's separation. We witness the grief, but also the recovery and moving on to new lives. In a thought-provoking Afterword, Mary Banham-Hall explains with clarity and insight the different stages of loss and grief which follow separation. As a highly experienced family lawyer and mediator, she advocates resolution processes which focus on the needs of the whole family. ----- 'I have read every word of the book and greatly enjoyed it. Mary has an ear well attuned to natural dialogue. The book exposes much more than the downward spiral of a failed relationship. There is, for example, a very sensitive portrayal of the feelings of the children. There is also an acute analysis of the development of the wife's affair; the wait for its ultimate consummation is - well almost - as frustrating for the reader as it is for the boyfriend. [It is a] wonderful advertisement for family mediation.' Lord Wilson, Justice of the UK Supreme Court ----- 'A rather racy tale of a marriage on the rocks in the spirit of Joanna Trollope.' Helen Rumbelow, The Times
Autorenporträt
Mary Banham-Hall was born in Norwich. She graduated from UCL (Law) in 1975, was admitted as a solicitor in 1979 and became a mediator in 1998. She has spent the majority of her professional life helping couples navigate the trauma of separation and divorce. Mary now dedicates most of her time to mediating and running her own company, Focus Mediation Limited (www.focus-mediation.co.uk), which she set up in 1999 and which specialises exclusively in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). She is wholly committed to helping couples to separate well and to build their separate futures constructively, fast and affordably. Mary believes children are at the epicentre of family breakdown: resolution processes should focus on their needs and be a loss-limitation exercise for them as well as for their parents.
