Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher speak to writer Haley Mlotek about No Fault: A Memoir of Divorce and Romance. The book blends the history of divorce law and custom in North America over the last century with cultural criticism on the way divorce has been portrayed in literature, film, and online. Mlotek also records her own experience of ending a marriage, and the front row seat she had growing up to the dissolution of many other unions through her mother's work as a divorce mediator. At a time when it's easier than ever before to access divorce, No Fault looks at the many questions that still persist around "what divorce should be, who it is for, and why the institution of marriage maintains its power."
