“I tried to write about my first marriage in a fictional version but go...” — Lisa Jewell Quote

“I tried to write about my first marriage in a fictional version but got two pages into it and realised it was too personal. Then I came up with an old-fashioned love triangle, which became the plot for 'Ralph's Party.'”

“My parents' marriage was, on an aesthetic level, very pleasing to behold.”

“I like the fact that my husband and I have been together for a long time and have a warm and colourful history together.”

“I understand the power of the Internet, but I can't say that I'm there. I'm old-fashioned and living in a different century. I don't know. I just don't really understand the craze of it.”

“When you're old-fashioned like I am, you know marriage is forever. Those vows are a promise.”

“I'm an old-fashioned girl, and I didn't believe in living with people, so I guess I married for the wrong reasons at times.”
