praise & reviews
 
Husbands and Wives Club

"The Husbands and Wives Club is that rare work of nonfiction that reads like a really good novel—it's rich in character, drama and emotional suspense."
—Tom Perrotta, author Little Children

"Abraham weaves increasingly fascinating sessions of a couples therapy group with meticulous research about love, marriage, therapy, and humanity. The result—part science, part psychology, part riveting drama—left me moved, cheering, and, frankly, floored by how far these couples could come."
—Cathi Hanauer, editor The Bitch in the House
