About this episode
When author Jill Ciment fell in love with her future husband, she was 17. He was 47, married, and with two children. Plus, he was her art teacher. That didn't stop them from having an affair, and they eventually married, remaining together until his death. Now, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Ciment wonders about whether the ending of their story can excuse the beginning. She examines this nuanced love story in her new memoir, Consent , and joins us to discuss.
