Books by Wendy Perriam

Wendy Perriam's fifteen novels have been acclaimed for their psychological insight and their power to disturb, divert and intrigue. Expelled from her convent boarding school for heresy, she read History at Oxford and also trod the boards. After a variety of offbeat jobs, ranging from artist's model to carnation disbudder to researcher on medieval cookery, she now divides her time between writing and teaching. Her first short-story collection, Dreams, Demons and Desire, was praised as 'a long-awaited treat - exciting and enchanting'; her second, Virgin in the Gym, as 'a feast of fantasy that will amuse and provoke in equal measure'; her fourth, The Biggest Female in the World, as 'literary, funny, moving. In a word, wonderful'.
