The Present and the Past by Ivy Compton-Burnett
Nine years after her divorce from Cassius, Catherine decides to re-enter his life. Cassius's second wife feels resentment, but as friendship develops between the two women it is Cassius who is excluded and whose self-pity intensifies, erupting in a shocking and unexpected way.
Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) received a degree in classics from the University of London's Holloway College. The author of more than 20 novels, she developed an innovative style in which her seemingly ordinary dialogue ultimately reveals insights into behavior and truths of human nature.
