The Ultimate Battle of the Spouses: Celebrating the 40 Zaniest, Craziest, Most Tragic Romances Ever on novel "The War of the Rose's" 40th Anniversary

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) December 11, 2020

Warren Adler's iconic cautionary tale of warring spouses, The War of the Roses, has kept divorcing couples terrified for 40 years. The novel's title in America's lexicon has become synonymous with scorched earth separations. With the recent massive spike in new divorces brought on by the pandemic according to a BBC study, the time is ripe for the world to reintroduce themselves to the best-selling book, or perhaps take in a new screening of the adaptation of the classic novel that stars Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. One can only help but wonder why? Since the original book was published as a cautionary tale, divorce rates had declined by the end of the 80s for the first time--and have been diminishing ever since.

A special 40th year edition of the worldwide bestseller, The War of the Roses, is being rereleased on Amazon to help flatten the curve on divorce. To aid in the good fight, actor and director Jason Alexander will direct a Broadway play penned by celebrated writer Peter Tolan. The show is slated to debut when Broadway reopens. Soon after, a star-studded movie remake will debut as well as a sequel, called The Children of the Roses, which is currently being adapted into a television series.

To celebrate the novel's 40th anniversary, the author's family has assembled the top 40 unblissful romances of all time that succumbed to epic, bitter divorces.
