What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Chaplin’s epistolary memoir, extracted from two years of recovered emails and journals she’d kept beginning in 2006, chronicles the dramatic, adventurous, and heartbreaking story of a restless married woman who’d fallen out of love with her husband of 13 years…[A] satisfying memoir that will appeal most to women who’ve found themselves fleeing hopeless relationships.” –Kirkus Reviews “Shocking, searingly honest, disturbing, brilliantly written. Reading this memoir is like being in a car speeding into an explosion and miraculously coming out the other side. Thank God. It would be awful if a writer this talented hadn’t made it.” -Delia Ephron, author of SIRACUSA
“Reckless Years is a stunningly forensic account of the end of a marriage and its aftermath, which combines the honesty of memoir with the urgency of good fiction and a dry wit that, for all the darkness of the story, makes Chaplin a joy to spend time with.” -Emma Brockes, author of SHE LEFT ME THE GUN
