My Husband Simon by Mollie Panter-Downes

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.
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.
