Man, Woman, and Child Paperback – March 1, 1993

Mr. Segal is a favorite author of mine!!

Segal can write a cunning novel in so few words. In this book the gripping idea of a marriage rocked by the discovery that a single infedilty led to a child being born several years ago. With the death of the child's mother the father discovers the child, and struggles to combine his family under one roof. The ultimate question of what we would do, and what we can do to forgive those we loved is the heart of the matter here. Beautifully written as all Segal novels are.

Such a great book in great shape…I read this book many years ago…when I was too young but I loved it. Still do!! Different as an adult

great reading

This is a story of a husband and wife, with a perfect marriage, exciting careers and two lovely daughters. They were a perfect American family. But what Sheila, the wife, didn’t know was that her husband had a one night stand 10 years prior on a business trip to France. Bob, the husband, didn’t know that on that one night of passion produced a child and their marriage was put to the test. Would she forgive him? Can she trust him again? It didn’t help when their children wasn’t that forgiving. But because of their love for each other, and at the end they forgave Bob and they became whole again. True love always prevail.The story started slow, but picked up the pace in the middle. It was a good story, but I guess I wasn’t that excited about the ending. It could have been better.

Gave as a gift

It was a very easy book to slip into and feel immediately empathetic with all of the characters involved. I read it in one sitting during a sleepless night and really enjoyed it.

So human so moving Eric Segal does it again one wants to read this again timeless story and so human
