Book
Serial monogamy / Kate Taylor.
When Sharon learns that her husband Al is having an affair with one of his students, her life is sent into turmoil, and the couple decides to split. But when Sharon is diagnosed with cancer, she and Al are brought together once again. Meanwhile, in an interwoven thread, we meet Nelly, a young, beautiful 19th century woman with ties to the theatre. Magnetized toward the incomparable Charles Dickens, Nelly becomes his secret mistress. But soon, she will learn the cost of her captivity and the limits she has placed on her own life.
What happens when life and ambition collide with betrayal and disease? Sharon's comfortable existence as a novelist, wife and mother is shattered by a cancer diagnosis, and by her husband's affair with a graduate student. The only relief in sight is a new writing project -- an engrossing serialized novel based on the story of the 19th-century actress Nelly Ternan, the young mistress of the aging Charles Dickens. Chronicling this infamous affair, Sharon is forced to examine with new eyes the secrets and struggles at the heart of domestic life, as she strives to mend her own marriage and heal her body.
