Description
'You don't mean you're going to divorce him?' Miss Spanner said with horror.
A sophisticated, emotive novel, Chatterton Square explores the complex web of relationships between two neighbouring families, the Blacketts and the Frasers. Against the backdrop of the advancing Second World War, the novel intricately examines the subtle mechanics of marriage and love through the lens of three marital options open to the mid-century woman: unmarried, separated, and miserably married.
Chatterton Square was published ten years after calls for changes in divorce law led to the Matrimonial Causes Act 1937. Although there was more legal provision for women seeking divorce, it remained a shocking suggestion, serving as the central focus of Young's novel.
