POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Author Jane Green, who has gone through two divorces, warns that the reality of marital breakdown is far from the glamorous legal dramas seen in popular media like HBO’s ‘War’ featuring Sienna Miller and Dominic West.

Green, known for her candid reflections on relationships, argues that the emotional toll of divorce is often overlooked. She emphasizes that love can easily shift into animosity, especially when financial disputes and legal battles take center stage.
