The Interrupted Divorce by HÉLÈNE BESSETTE translated by BARBARA BRAY with Marian Diamond Jack May. Philip Bond and Gordon Gosteiow
' It's quite easy to ask for a divorce. Everybody gets divorced. It's quite common. Ordinary. Quick. It's the only solution. An end to unhappiness. To a mistake. The end of a nightmare of terror. But with Helmut you never know what may happen. He's not like other men. With him it's not simple or general. One nightmare after another, one terror after another.'
