Description
Chatterton Square is a sophisticated and emotive novel by Emily Hilda Young, exploring the complex web of relationships between two neighboring families, the Blacketts and the Frasers. Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, the novel examines the subtle mechanics of marriage and love, shedding light on the limited options available to mid-century women. The novel's central theme of divorce and the Matrimonial Causes Act 1937 provides a thought-provoking focus, highlighting the challenges faced by women seeking change. This is part of the British Library Women Writers series, a curated collection of forgotten works by early to mid-century women writers, offering a unique glimpse into the popular fiction of the 1940s and 1950s.
