Yet the novella’s susceptibility to interpretation is precisely...

Divorce is experienced much more than is realized. It is experienced, seen, and studied; however, the thought of who it affects is never automatically thought about. In all likelihood, scholars will continue to debate whether divorce has a casual effect on children, partly because of the impossibility of doing experimental...
