Publisher's Synopsis

Josselyn's Wife by Kathleen Norris is a novel set in the early 20th century that tells the story of Vera Josselyn, a young woman who marries a wealthy businessman named John Josselyn. The couple moves to New York City, where Vera struggles to adjust to her new life as a socialite and wife to a powerful man. As Vera becomes more involved in John's business affairs, she begins to uncover secrets about his past and the true nature of his wealth. She also struggles with her own identity and desires, as she grapples with the expectations placed on her as a wife and the limitations of her gender in a male-dominated society. Throughout the novel, Vera navigates complex relationships with her husband, her family, and her friends, while also grappling with her own personal demons. As she confronts the challenges of her life, she learns to assert her own agency and find her own voice. Josselyn's Wife is a compelling exploration of gender, power, and identity in early 20th century America, and a powerful portrait of a woman's journey to self-discovery and empowerment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
