My Husband Simon: British Library Women Writers

Autor Mollie Panter-Downes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2020
My Husband Simon tells the story of the married life of Nevis Falconer, a young woman novelist, and Simon Quinn. Temperamentally unsuited, they are only kept together by a mutual physical attraction, in spite of innumerable quarrels. They live this superficial existence for three years, until one day Nevis meets Marcus Chard, her American publisher, who has just arrived in London. Soon friendship develops into love. Inevitably the problem faces her. Wife or mistress? Nevis finds herself caught in a whirl of circumstances over which she has no control. Published in 1931 in the immediate aftermath of D H Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover controversy, Mollie Panter-Downes's book explores the different echelons of the increasingly self-conscious middle class and the ways in which the tensions and nuances of vocabulary, dress, occupation, politics, taste and, ultimately, the literary world contribute to the incompatibility of a marriage. Part of a curated collection of forgotten works by early to mid-century women writers, the British Library Women Writers series highlights the best middlebrow fiction from the 1910s to the 1960s, offering escapism, popular appeal and plenty of period detail to amuse, surprise and inform.

Notă biografică

Mollie Panter-Downes's (1906-1997) first book was published when she was only seventeen and her remarkable post-war novel One Fine Day is recognized as a modern classic. She is also remembered for her fortnightly "Letters from London" which appeared in the New Yorker from 1938 through to the 1980s and provided an American readership with a warm and detailed "voice" of everyday life in England and its capital.
