Description
When is a marriage worth saving and when is it best to let go? When do half-truths turn into full-blown lies? When does betrayal end and passion begin?
Say When is a compelling, complex novel that takes readers into the heart of a modern marriage where companionship and intimacy, and denial and pain, so often collide. "Of course he knew she was seeing someone," begins the story of Frank Griffin, a man who's willing to overlook his wife's infidelity -- he would let her have this, this thrilling little romance -- for the sake of keeping his family intact. But when the forty-year-old Ellen requests a divorce on the basis that she has finally found true, romantic love, Griffin must decide whether to fight or flee...or search elsewhere for the kind of life he always dreamed of.
With Elizabeth Berg's trademark blend of rare insight, raw emotion, and hard-won wisdom, Say When is a work of startling revelation that no reader will soon forget.

Praise for Say When…
The Atlantic Monthly Like Range of Motion and Talk Before Sleep, [Never Change] is about the wisdom and closeness that crisis can bring. The narrative road thatleads to them is funny, poetic, and moving.
The Midwest Book Review Never Change is a five-tissue-box novel...Elizabeth Berg has written one of the most dramatic and beautiful books of her career,one that celebrates life to the fullest.
The Denver Post Savvy, wry, and sharply observant...Berg's graceful and deceptively simple prose is laced with clear-eyed insights...deft and inspiring.
The Communicator (Spokane, WA) [True to Form] is written with great tenderness and understanding and takesreaders back to their own days of awakening...It flows with grace and beauty and a clarity that have not been so inspiring since some of the classicists.
The Seattle Times Berg knows her characters intimately...she gets under their skin and leaves the reader with an indelible impression of lives challenged and changed.
USA Today Maybe Freud didn't know the answer to what women want, but Elizabeth Berg certainly does.
