"'You don't mean you're going to divorce him?' Miss Spanner said
with horror." A sophisticated, emotive novel, Chatterton Square
concerns the complex web of relationships between two neighbouring
families, the Blacketts and the Frasers. Framed by the advance of
the Second World War, the subtle mechanics of marriage and love are
laid bare through the observation of three of the marital options
open to the mid-century woman: unmarried, separated, miserably
married. Chatterton Square was published ten years after calls for
a change in divorce law resulted in the Matrimonial Causes Act
1937. Despite there being more legal provision for women seeking
divorce, the suggestion of it remained shocking, providing the
central focus for Young's novel.
