The Love-Story of Aliette Brunton
The Love-Story of Aliette Brunton, published in 1922, is Gilbert Frankau's novel about the English divorce laws. Aliette is married to Hector Brunton, a successful barrister who is also a bully; she falls in love with Ronald Cavendish, a younger barrister, and leaves her husband for him openly, only to find that Hector refuses the divorce that would let them marry and that society, the law and their own families close against them. Frankau sets the story among the Inns of Court, the hunting counties and the London season, and his preamble announces his subject as the self-sacrifice that love demands of old-fashioned English people. The book was a bestseller and fed the debate that soon changed the law. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
