  • divorce**Divorce
  • was
  • everything
  • for
  • Haley
  • Mlotek.
  • As
  • a
  • child,
  • she
  • listened
  • to
  • her
  • twice-divorced
  • grandmother
  • tell
  • stories
  • about
  • her
  • “husbands.”
  • As
  • a
  • pre-teen,
  • she
  • answered
  • the
  • phones
  • for
  • her
  • mother’s
  • mediation
  • and
  • marriage
  • counseling
  • practice
  • and
  • typed
  • out
  • the
  • paperwork
  • for
  • couples
  • in
  • the
  • process
  • of
  • leaving
  • each
  • other.
  • She
  • grew
  • up
  • with
  • the
  • sense
  • that
  • divorce
  • was
  • an
  • outcome
  • to
  • both
  • resist
  • and
  • desire,
  • an
  • ordeal
  • that
  • promised
  • something
  • better
  • on
  • the
  • other
  • side
  • of
  • something
  • bad.
  • But
  • when
  • she
  • herself
  • went
  • on
  • to
  • marry—and
  • then
  • divorce—the
  • man
  • she
  • had
  • been
  • with
  • for
  • twelve
  • years,
  • suddenly,
  • she
  • had
  • to
  • reconsider
  • her
  • generation’s
  • inherited
  • understanding
  • of
  • the
  • institution.Deftly
  • combining
  • her
  • personal
  • story
  • with
  • wry,
  • searching
  • social
  • and
  • literary
  • exploration,
  • No
  • Fault
  • is
  • a
  • deeply
  • felt
  • and
  • radiant
  • account
  • of
  • 21st
  • century
  • divorce—the
  • remarkably
  • common
  • and
  • seemingly
  • singular
  • experience,
  • and
  • what
  • it
  • reveals
  • about
  • our
  • society
  • and
  • our
  • desires
  • for
  • family,
  • love,
  • and
  • friendship.
  • Mlotek
  • asks
  • profound
  • questions
  • about
  • what
  • divorce
  • should
  • be,
  • who
  • it
  • is
  • for,
  • and
  • why
  • the
  • institution
  • of
  • marriage
  • maintains
  • its
  • power,
  • all
  • while
  • charting
  • a
  • poignant
  • and
  • cathartic
  • journey
  • away
  • from
  • her
  • own
  • marriage
  • towards
  • an
  • unknown
  • future.Brilliant,
  • funny,
  • and
  • unflinchingly
  • honest,
  • No
  • Fault
  • is
  • a
  • kaleidoscopic
  • look
  • at
  • marriage,
  • secrets,
  • ambitions,
  • and
  • what
  • it
  • means
  • to
  • love
  • and
  • live
  • with
  • uncertainty,
  • betrayal,
  • and hope.
