(Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt feels remarkable to be a deserted wife when one is only twenty-four.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNew 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA 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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571388059\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50253446709552,"sku":"Trans_9780571388059","price":675.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71hqjNYlUmL.jpg?v=1761644748","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/ex-wife-faber-editions-i-was-floored-truly-brilliant-meg-mason-author-of-sorrow-and-bliss","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
