Death of a She Devil by Fay Weldon
Sequel to The Life and Loves of a She Devil. In Weldon's 1983 classic, women fought men for power and won. But now the fight continues on a new front. A modern twist on the battle of the sexes.
Elegantly written, sharply perceptive and fantastically good fun * Daily Mail *
She's a queen of wordsA tribal elder -- Caitlin Moran
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' * The Times *
One of our very best writers * The Sunday Times *
A brilliant black comedy * Mail on Sunday Event magazine *
Fay has been incredibly vocal about transgender issues, and her new book features her trademark black humour - and some shocking twists * Closer *
A bawdy controversial read * Woman & Home *
It's good to have Fay Weldon back, poking the hornet's nest of modern feminism with her sly eye * Daily Express *
Weldon's amused defiance is irresistible * Mail on Sunday. *
Scalpel-sharp and laceratingly funny * Good Housekeeping. *
A delight to read. Each chapter has a hilarious heading, revealing Weldon's affinity with the pre-Romantic tradition of Sterne and Swift * Irish Times *
Fay Weldon's new novel is certain to be a bestseller * Catholic Herald *
I suspect Weldon couldn't care less about political correctness... for her, it's all literary mischief' * i newspaper *
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' * Sydney Morning Herald *
