by Michelle Browne. Here, we sit down with the author to talk about navigating the tricky waters of separation and divorce within the Irish legal system, her writing process, and literary influences.
In the book, Michelle tells the story of her own difficult, but typical, divorce in Ireland. It was a harrowing and upsetting experience, which dealt with the traditional court system using solicitors and barristers. In telling her story, Michelle examines the process in detail and explains the costs, both financial and emotional, of a legal system that is failing so many couples.
In my experience working with separating and divorcing clients, the use of the traditional system of divorce is out of touch. Parents want for themselves, their ex-spouses and their children a simpler, less stressful, less costly way to move forward.also discusses how we as a society can help, and what our government can do to improve how we divorce in Ireland.
When I had time to myself, I procrastinated as I told myself I had to clean the cooker, fridge, freezer and windows before I would sit down to write.Writing this book was so cathartic. I learned that I’m stronger than I thought and change really is possible.The first book you remember reading is…That is a tough question, we have so many funny, talented, brilliant writers in Ireland. Ok, if I have to pick, Maeve Binchy.
