Le livre d' #UrsulaParrott n'est pas #féministe militant, c'est le roman d'une #femme qui se trouve devenir libre bien contre son gré et vit cette liberté avec un grand pragmatisme — sans pour autant que cela amenuise son humanité et la possibilité de s'émouvoir et d'aimer.

Why have you read ‘The Great Gatsby’ but not Ursula Parrott’s ‘Ex-Wife’?

‘Ex-Wife’ originally outsold ‘The Great Gatsby,’ but critics sniffed at the novel, deeming it a melodramatic period piece − even though it tackled timeless issues like gender, money and power.
