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.

Publicata in 1931, cartea lui Mollie Panter-Downes exploreaza diferitele esaloane ale clasei de mijloc din ce in ce mai constiente de sine si modurile in care tensiunile si nuantele vocabularului, imbracamintea, ocupatia, politica, gustul si, in cele din urma, lumea literara contribuie la incompatibilitatea unei casatorii.
