Recenzii

A romp of a read full of Weldon wit and wisdom, as well as sumptuous period detail
Wise and witty... filled with sharp observations'
The quirky, singular writing style takes some getting used to, but this triumphs in the end with its unique characters and playfully ironic voice
A cool, sparkling, delicious book... This is one of those rare works of fiction that will make seasoned novelists gasp... while also offering the reader a breeze of a story'
A daredevil combination of farce and satire... shades of Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh, P. G. Wodehouse and John Fowles
Looking down at her cast from amused heights, Weldon punctures their pretensions and double standards with piquant observations, keeps a detached eye on the power politics of their relationships, but also caricatures them
Lively... wry social satire'
Weldon, still at the top of her powers, serves up elegant prose that is witty, ironic - and emotionally distanced
If I had to recommend just one name to the uninformed young woman who curls her lip at the word "feminist" today, I would tell her to read Fay Weldon. Not only for Weldon's vision of gender justice, but for her take-no-prisoners approach to fiction. Her plots move swiftly; her gaze is unsettlingly direct; her sentences can draw blood
