Saunders thought that marrying the right man would finally cure her
loneliness. But as picture-perfect as her husband is, she is
suffocating in their loveless marriage.In 1951, though, unhappiness
is hardly grounds for divorce - except in Reno, Nevada. At the
Golden Yarrow, the most respectable of Reno's 'divorce ranches'
Lois finds herself living with half a dozen other would-be
divorcees, all in Reno for the six weeks' residency that is the
state's only divorce requirement. They spend their days riding
horses and their nights flirting with cowboys, and it's as wild and
fun as Lake Forest, Illinois, was prim and stifling.But it isn't
until Greer Lange arrives that Lois's world truly cracks open . .
.Gorgeous, beguiling, and completely indifferent to societal
convention, Greer is unlike anyone Lois has ever met - and she sees
something in Lois that no one else ever has. Under her influence,
Lois begins to push against the limits that have always restrained
her. But how much can she really trust her mysterious new friend?
And how far will she go to forge her independence, on her own
terms?Set in the glamorous, dizzying world of 1950s Reno, THE
DIVORCÉES is a deliciously slow-burn, atmospheric page-turner and a
dazzling exploration of female friendship, desire and freedom.'I
