What do you do when your partner’s infidelity upends your life? When you confront living on your own? In amongst parents dying, careers ending and becoming a grandparent?
As a journalist, Kate Legge often seeks answers to how people reckon with bad luck or bad decisions. When faced with her husband’s affair, she discovered a fault line of betrayal running through four generations
of his family, which began a search for answers both close to home and more universally.
Infidelity and Other Affairs begins with this puzzle: is unfaithfulness a predisposition or a learned behaviour? From there, Legge contemplates a vast catalogue of behaviours as she strives to understand how we
become who we are.
To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace over revenge and hate, as well as joy in unexpected places.

An interesting read, the first half definitely challenging in its content about sexual affairs. As an older woman, the second half of the book was probably nothing that I hadn’t contemplated or previously talked about with others. The reading of the book by the author was reminiscent of a school English class with the teacher reading a passage designed for the students to observe the structure and linguistics primarily and the actual story secondly. Thoughtfully crafted words were emphasised in place of tonal resonance and emotion. The book was let down by the monotone reading of its contents.

Needed an actor to read it.
