His Second Wife

His Second Wife turns on Ethel, who comes to New York after her sister’s death and finds herself drawn into the household, and the unfinished life, that remains. Marriage, work, and a woman’s wish for a self of her own collide in the modern city. Poole treats second chances as both temptation and moral labour.
