An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929--the story of a divorce and its aftermath, which scandalized the Jazz Age. Its 1924, and Peter and Patricia have what looks to be a very modern marriage. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work, Patricia as a head copywriter at a major department store. When it comes to sex with other people, both believe in the honesty policy. Until they dont. Or, at least, until Peter doesnt--and a shell-shocked, lovesick Patricia finds herself starting out all over again, but this time around as a different kind of single woman: the ex-wife. An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, Ex-Wife captures the speakeasies, night clubs, and parties that defined Jazz Age New York--alongside the morning-after aspirin and calisthenics, the lunch-hour visits to the gym, the girl-talk, and the freedoms and anguish of solitude. It also casts a cool eye on the bedrooms and the doctors offices where, despite rising hemlines, the men still call the shots. The result is a unique view of what its author Ursula Parrott called the era of the one-night stand an era very much like our own.Book specifications:Dimensions: 216 x 127Author: Ursula ParrottCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 5Pages: 232Language: EnglishPublisher: McNally EditionsWeight: 318 g
