“A Divorce Party” new novel by Laura Dave

Who said if you want to write a book about a subject you need to be expert in the field? Well Laura Dave’s new novel “The Divorce Party” is a tale about a couple that have been married for 35 years and their marriage breaks down, as well as another character, Maggie, who becomes engaged to Gwyn’s son, and also develops relationship problems.

The Story follows the lives of these two women, Maggie and Gwyn who are faced with the same question: How well do you know someone? When should you fight for someone and when should you let them go?

Laura Dave the author of “The Divorce Party,” is actually single, never been married, comes from a solid home and is only 30 years old, on a recent book signing, one middle-aged divorcee got upset when she saw Dave, saying that Dave had told her story and whilst she was reading the book she just presumed Dave was her age, and she felt swindled.

Dave’s lack of experience didn’t hold her back when writing; she interviewed divorce men and women whilst on tour to promote her first novel “London is the best City in America”. Although Dave said the character Maggie she can relate to more, but she was really interested in writing about Gwyn, what do you do when you realise you have signed up for life with someone, and then they turn on you, especially when you late in your years.

This year, Dave plans to move to Los Angeles as her writing has captured Hollywood’s interest. Dave will start work on a movie script with screen writer Gwyn Lurie. Jenifer Aniston’s production company purchased the rights to “The Divorce Party” earlier this year.

Dave has worked hard since her 20s, she moves every time she writes a book as she likes to feel the places she writes about, she has worked long hours trying to make end meet as a writer, Dave insists she will still keep writing even if the movie studios stop calling and people stop buying her books.
