Product Description
Review
‘To read Fay Weldon is like drinking Champagne’
Times
‘A crash course in philosophy, religion, politics, idealism, with sexual passion, love and the nature of betrayal thrown in’
Woman’s Journal
‘Prolific and provocative, Fay Weldon shines brightest in the league table of British women novelists’
Time Out
‘Fay Weldon provokes you to think. You’d expect no less of the social and sexual soothsayer of our literary times’
Company
‘Darcy’s Utopia is among the most frolicsome of her novels, but it still manages to display her quiet, grave insistence that we change our ways.’
Sunday Times
Product Description
A provocative view of modern society weaved into a tale of explosive love and, perhaps, even, black magic.
Scandalous Eleanor Darcy, wild young wife of a world-famous economist, sketches her vision of Utopia to two journalists, Hugo Vansitart and Valarie Jones. In glorious detail, she describes an earthly paradise of peace, love and technological progress where sex is plentiful and money does not exist. Such is Eleanor’s charisma that, to their own astonishment, Hugo and Valerie abandon their families and set up home together om a Holiday Inn.

Customer Reviews
Darcy's utopia itself is an egalitarist and closed society (in fact a group of societies) with rules which can be adjusted from time to time to conform the wishes of the members.
Fay Weldon wrote another great book on her prefered themes like human weakness, infidelity, children, feminism and sex. Alhough the utopia as described in the book has its obvious faults, I enjoyed a lot reading this story and I will definitely read other novels by Fay Weldon, who is a genius writer in my opinion.
