Richard Greenow, a young writer, spends his days as a politically engaged academic. At night, however, he writes fiction for women, crafting stories and serialized novels he sells to a prominent women's magazine. Finding success, he realizes there is a woman inside him, a writer named Pearl Bellairs who is as much a part of his identity as Richard Greenow is. When war breaks out, however, he must choose between his principled pacifism and his fear of prison, a decision that pits his two unique identities against one another. \"Happily Ever After,\" a story set during the First World War, follows Peter Jacobsen, \" a man with no nationality and no prejudices,\" as he travels across the Atlantic to visit Pemberton, his old friend from Oxford and a renowned scholar of philosophy.
