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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46610656919721,"sku":"PHBK-9781946022561","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/content_0118ed17-6332-47c6-9c96-8c4b2d817fb4.jpg?v=1764710487","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/ex-wife","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
