Diary of an Affair — Jeannie Sakol

For DIARY OF AN AFFAIR, Jeannie Sakol uses an exciting cinematic approach. Reliving her own personal experience, she tells the story in a dramatic series of individual “scenes”. Each is told from the separate viewpoints of newly divorced Liza and devoted husband Dan from the moment they first see each other jogging in the park and realize “something has happened”. Scene after scene reveals how each reacts to the volcanic turmoil of the affair. The emotional wreckage. The decisions to call it quits. The break-ups and passionate reconciliations.
Who do we blame for prolonging the agony? Is the final resolution fair to both Liza and Dan?
Reviewer Comment: “An intimate chronicle of the human heart revealed in honest and touching detail.”
