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 don't. Or, at least, until Peter doesn't--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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, \u003ci\u003eEx-Wife\u003c\/i\u003e 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 doctor's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ursula Parrott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194602256X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946022561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McNally Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.04w x 0.79d","brand":"Ursula Parrott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070242320639,"sku":"9781946022561","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c1c3498-aeae-4a51-a2ff-156147157baf.jpg?v=1685429197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ex-wife-ursula-parrott-9781946022561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
