Ursula Parrott — Ex-Wife with Marsha Gordon Lost Ladies of Lit

This is the Jazz Age novel we should have read in high school! Ursula Parrott’s Ex-Wife was an instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, and it’s inspired by her own experience as a young divorcée and flapper in New York. Guest Marsha Gordon’s new biography of Parrott, Becoming the Ex-Wife, arrives in bookstores at the same time as a reissue of the dazzling novel from McNally Editions.
