Kehua! by Fay Weldon
Rediscover the joy of Fay: A tale of murder, sex, redemption, remorse and ghosts from the 'mistress of warped suburbia'
* CHALCOT CRESCENT was a sensation: * * *
Weldon back to her best - an apocalypse-very-soon-from-now delivered with her trademark warm-hearted cynicism and bone-dry wit* Daily Mail *
Reads like a first novel... it's so fresh and vibrant and funny. The funniest dystopian novel I've ever read. And I don't think it's going to date. * Boyd Hilton *
Weldon's mischievous blend of fact and fiction produces a hybrid that is at once futuristic satire, tragedy and tongue-in-cheek memoir... The plot is bonkers, but enormous fun... A persuasive fable: sinister, clever, funny and vintage Weldon. * Independent *
I just adored it... Hugely funny and surprisingly sinister -- Sadie Jones
Sparkles with wit and acute observation * Guardian *
Weldon's impish sense of humour and gimlet-eyed social observations stand out * Sunday Times *
Really rather bonkers. Exceptionally good, but bonkers * Daily Telegraph *
This potent brew of social comment, dystopian satire, viscious comedy and vintage Weldon wisdom is a marvellous ride * The Times *
