Recenzii

One of the great lionesses of modern English literature'
A sparkling river of wit
Weldon's stories pull no punches
Weldon at her best... Times have changed and Weldon is one of the people who have changed them'
It is Weldon's immersion in the real world, and her fascination with changes in fashion, trend and mood, that gives these stories their spirit... For most women love and lust are synonyms for life. And that, as almost each of these stories shows, is where the mischief comes in'
The perfect way to reacquaint yourself with a great writer or discover her for the first time
Insightful, emotionally truthful tales rich with female characters
Weldon's voice is the star... wise, witty and, well, yes, mischievous... Swiftian, elegant, droll and thought-provoking'
Magically insistent
The acclaimed author has chosen 21 of her favourite short stories, spanning her 50-year career, for this enjoyable collection... Also included is a new novella, The Ted Dreams, a ghost story for our modern age'
