Women Get Divorced, but Times Change

The long-awaited novel by a controversial American author is finally being published. A psychedelic odyssey through Hollywood, somewhere between dark satire and paranoid delirium.

She thought she was breaking up with her husband: she discovers that it is much harder to divorce an era. With irony as dry as a Martini, Ursula Parrott carves sorrow into remorse.

New York, the Roaring Twenties. Freshly divorced, Patricia believes she is opening the door to a new life. Above all, she is entering a world where men hoard freedoms and women make concessions. Amid alcohol-fueled confessions, fleeting affairs, and shattered dreams, Ursula Parrott has written a novel of disconcerting modernity that debunks the myth of the finally emancipated woman and reveals the loneliness willingly masked beneath a layer of lipstick.
