My Husband Simon
Published in 1931, 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.

Description
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. It examines how the tensions and nuances of vocabulary, dress, occupation, politics, taste, and, ultimately, the literary world contribute to the incompatibility of a marriage.

About the Author
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 recognised 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.
