About This Item
Knopf Publishing Group, 1992. Very Good+. The strikingly inventive British author ( The Shrapnel Academy , The Life a nd Loves of a She-Devil ) delivers another biting satire on men's inhumanit y to women. Weldon sets the scene in a small town where upper-class Natalie is left suddenly penniless after her husband scarpers with his secretary. Sonia, a woman similarly deserted but accustomed to coping with draconian w elfare officials, gives Natalie and her children shelter as well as pricele ss advice. As local males lust for Natalie's body (and the posh house they assume will come with it), Sonia plans a twist on the annual town carnival, a demonstration hinted at throughout the narrative, and occuring at the no vel's horrifying conclusion. This strong story about damaged lives is memor able as well for the lusty humor that makes all Weldon's books irresistible.
