(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
Written by Avery Corman
3 STARS
After some years of marriage and parenthood Joanna Kramer walks out on her husband and son. In the note she tells Ted she needs more than being a stay at home mom. Now Ted is a single father trying to understand how Joanna could leave their son, Billy and what he has to do next. As Ted and Billy start to get used to their new life Joanna returns and wants sole custody.
I have been wanting to read this book since I first saw the movie Kramer vs. Kramer in the early 90s. I enjoyed the novel which expands on backstory of the Kramers yet lacks the personal touch. This novel feels like an author telling a story rather than the characters.
Avery Corman (b. 1935) is an American author best known for his novels Kramer vs. Kramer and Oh, God!, which inspired classic feature films. Born and raised in the Bronx, Corman worked as a freelance writer for most of his early career before his first novel was published in 1971. Corman has written powerfully of family relations, divorce, and midlife crisis.
