'I read my daughter's diary the other day. Let me share with you. You may think you know pretty much what's going on in your own family. Believe me, you do not. You think truly awful things only happen in other countries, other cultures, far away: but they also happen in your own back yard, to the nicest people, and at the hands of others who believe that they too are perfectly sane and nice, the kind who sort the household waste and try to save Africa.'
Weldon has always been good at dysfunctional families, money and property and this is a return to form, giving us the point of view of Sappho, the stepmother but not the wicked stepmother familiar from fairy tales. Weldon uses the device of the story being reviewed and ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a powerful story, simply told. I'd go as far as to say that the story borders on the mythological. Fay Weldon's use of sparse and simple prose in the telling of it strengthens the story even further. Fay Weldon has an understanding of human nature which transcends the boundaries of social nicety and political correctness at the best of times, but she improves on her usual excellence here. This book presents the light and shadow of men and women in all their forms - there are no "good-guys" or "bad-guys" here. She shows how good can spring from bad and bad from good... a dangerous idea? Read it and see what you think. I've read this book at least a dozen times over the years and I've learned something ...

I bought this for my mum when she was going on holiday and she loved it so much that I had a read as well. There is a good mix of stories - some make you laugh and other's tug on the heartstrings. I loved the retro feel to the jacket and have it facing out on my book shelf!

This little jewel will be hidden away in some section of the bookshop unfrequented by men, which is a shame. For Fay Weldon provides the most insightful guide to women since Casanova's Memoirs. Just one insight with earth-shaking implications for the unenlightened male: women are happy for about 10 minutes at a time. This alone will go a long way to ease the anxiety of many poor suckers who think they are responsible for moodiness or find themselves at a loss in what the clearly see as an irretrievable situation of unhappiness. Women, of course, will hate this book, which is Fay's point, is it not? I hope Fay will embark on a speaking tour of men's clubs, sports bars, NASCAR competitions, and indeed any tribal setting where men gather: she will do more ... Read More:
