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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 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 .  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGorgeous, 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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the glamorous, dizzying world of 1950s Reno, \u003ci\u003eTHE DIVORC\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eÉ\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eES\u003c\/i\u003e is a deliciously slow-burn, atmospheric page-turner and a dazzling exploration of female friendship, desire and freedom.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I straight up loved it.
