Product Description

Review

Praise for Fay Weldon: 'Fay Weldon is a national treasure.' Literary Review 'One of the most prolific, entertaining and provocative of contemporary women writers.' Sunday Telegraph 'When she's on form -- marshalling those elegant, deadly, sentences -- there's simply no touching Weldon as a writer.' Observer Praise for 'She May Not Leave': 'A witty, wicked, lethally elegant novel.' Daily Telegraph 'Weldon is on top form in this latest novel, bringing to old dramas delicious new twists.' Daily Mail 'Weldon's style, that virtuoso of intelligence and insinuating garrulousness achieves a kind of ideal equilibrium between therapy and gossip. It had all the irresistible allure of a really good bitch and the voluptuous resonance on a deeply self-indulgent bout of self-analysis.' The Times 'She merges a quintessential, zappy sixties sharpness with the ability to update her feel for the pulse of whatever is hip or chic or symbolic of each dawning era. Weldon oozes readability, so unlike the powers of boredom that crawl from so many publishers' lists. She should be cloned.' Scotsman


The Sunday Times

'Wise witty and barbed.'

4.0 out of 5 stars All men should read this, 16 Dec 2007
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 in these settings to foster harmony and understanding than the putative age of Aquarius or any number of ranting man-baiting feminists. It will bring a new kind of climate change, one which will actually deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fay, Oh Fay, where are you?, 19 Jan 2007
By D. Farrow (Shell Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love, or rather, loved the writings of Ms. Weldon. Have for more years than I care to admit.
But this latest is just a nothing bit of rubbish.
Not even the little stories within save the day.
Perhaps the well has gone dry. It happens.
I think the writer would do better at spending her time helping her friends get a new book out. (Mr. Ronan comes to mind)
If you are a fan, keep yourself as one by not picking up this book.
Hope the rent got paid, Fay Weldon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get it, 9 Dec 2006
By C. Nam - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't really understand what the point of the book is. I've never read any of her previous stuff and just picked it up as an impulse buy from the self help section but I didn't find it helpful in any way shape or form. Is it supposed to be just a random collection of her thoughts? Is it all to be taken light heartedly? Or am I just not one of the women she is supposed to be writing about?

I picked this up in an airport bookstore in hopes of having reading material on the plane. What a terrible flight stuck with this 'book', with a terrible arrogant title. Read more
