(Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss)It feels remarkable to be a deserted wife when one is only twenty-four.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew York, 1924. Patricia and Peter are a thoroughly modern married couple. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work. Both believe in 'Love-Outside-Marriage'. Until they don't. Or, really, until he doesn't. So when Peter pushes for divorce with increasing violence, Patricia has to forge a new life as a single woman: as an ex-wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sensational bestseller in 1929, yet utterly timeless, Ex-Wife plunges us into the 'era of the one-night stand'. It evokes not only the Manhattan bars, fashion advertising offices, female friendships and all-night parties of a dazzling city, but the hollow affairs, emotional hangovers, backstreet abortions, and struggles for sexual freedoms amidst the moral double standards of a patriarchal world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46771564183789,"sku":"9780571388059","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780571388059.jpg?v=1730821779","url":"https:\/\/steyningbookshop.info\/products\/9780571388059","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
