Everything will be fine. That is what Mary and John promise when they tell their two children that they are getting a divorce. But the separation becomes wildly different from what they had both imagined. John is quickly scooped up by a new woman while Mary is forced to realise that an adult woman without a partner is not an uncomplicated matter in the eyes of society. While John moves on with both the children's trust and his personal finances intact, Mary ? who has spent her life living for the approval of others ? must reevaluate herself, her choices and her life. Opt Out is a searing reckoning with the limitations of marriage and gender roles, and an examination of the image of the good mother. Smart, intimate and emotionally astute, it is a story about family and love ? for better or for worse ? and the difficulties of breaking away from the constraints of one life in pursuit of another.
