Product Description

Review

When I read Julie Metz's Perfection, I inhaled every word! I loved it, not just for the raw facts of Julie's ordeal but even more for the lyrical, insightful point of view from which it was written. Julie writes close to the bone as she searches for meaning and embraces the beauty of an imperfect life. --Sarah Landis

Perfection is a gutsy account of what happens when you discover that your life has been one big fat lie. Or rather, quite a few big fat lies, one after another. The first half - and the best - is based on a journal she wrote when she was grieving and the emails she fired off to friends when she found out the truth about Henry and was forced to ask herself: who exactly was I married to? Who the hell have I been mourning? She is full of rage, laying herself bare in such a visceral and heartfelt way that you realise it's rare to find a book by a woman who is so bloody angry. --Observer Woman


Product Description

A breathtakingly honest memoir about the complexities of forgiveness when a young widow discovers her husband's secret life after his death. Six months after the death of her husband, Julie Metz discovered that the man she love dhad been unfaithful throughout their marriage. This memoir - moving, simple and filled with wonderful imagery - is the story of a woman coming to terms with painful truths and of rebuilding a life and identity after the worst betrayal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!, 24 Aug 2009
By G. F. H. King "Gyr King" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an important, well written, unsentimental, examination of a marriage that stops suddenly in mid flow. The abruptness of the change, and the shock of the subsequent revelations, creates power and urgency. Metz's autobiographical documentation of her experience reads like a thriller, she writes in such a way that her innermost valnerability is laid bare as if you are her only reader! An important take on married life in the 21st century, and I urge you to read it.
