Dagha exhaustively catalogues coping with the end of a marriage on “The Divorce,” released 15 years ago

It’s accepted that Marvin Gaye’s “Here, My Dear” is the best album about divorce ever recorded. Released 45 years ago, the sprawling double album is a raw piece of work infused with pain, resentment, and passion.
