Short novel
from 1920 about divorce. The narrator is an exuberant, indiscreet
teenage girl who is excited by the novelty of her parents' divorce and
is keen to scrutinize everything to do with it. Obviously, this "Isn't
divorce fun?" stuff isn't intended to wear long. It's a
think-of-the-children book, but Porter isn't too glib and gives things
an appearance of unfolding naturally. The ending is rather unique and
almost shocking. Well worth the read.
