Floored

\'A forgotten classic: darkly funny and startlingly contemporary, full of witty one-liners and stop-you-in-your-tracks 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 twenty-four.New 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.A 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.
