Recenzii

Elegantly written, sharply perceptive and fantastically good fun
She's a queen of words. A tribal elder
Funny, waspish and acute... A fierce retrospective on the achievements of the women's movement - and its cost - and a defiant hurrah for grumpy old women'
One of our very best writers
A brilliant black comedy
Fay has been incredibly vocal about transgender issues, and her new book features her trademark black humour - and some shocking twists
A bawdy controversial read
It's good to have Fay Weldon back, poking the hornet's nest of modern feminism with her sly eye
Weldon's amused defiance is irresistible
Scalpel-sharp and laceratingly funny
A delight to read. Each chapter has a hilarious heading, revealing Weldon's affinity with the pre-Romantic tradition of Sterne and Swift
Fay Weldon's new novel is certain to be a bestseller
I suspect Weldon couldn't care less about political correctness... for her, it's all literary mischief'
A kind of coda to a brilliant literary career... The satire is neat and very funny... A politically incorrect novel that is at the same time deliberately indecorous in a way that will make anyone feel like a prude if they object to a comedy as swaggering in its confidence and as subtle in its observation as this... Obviously the work of a genius'
