A forgotten classic darkly funny and startlingly contemporary, full of witty oneliners and stopyouinyourtracks observations about romance, work, and life. (Monica Heisey, Really Good, Actually).I was floored truly brilliant. (Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss)It feels remarkable to be a deserted wife when one is only twentyfour.New York, 1924. Patricia and Peter are a thoroughly modern married couple. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work. Both believe in LoveOutsideMarriage. Until they dont. Or, really, until he doesnt. So when Peter pushes for divorce with increasing violence, Patricia has to forge a new life as a single woman as an exwife.A sensational bestseller in 1929, yet utterly timeless, ExWife plunges us into the era of the onenight stand. It evokes not only the Manhattan bars, fashion advertising offices, female friendships and allnight 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.
