Wicked Women

Front Cover
Bloomsbury Publishing, 2014 M05 1 - 304 pages
Victims, liberators, blackmailers, healers, and ghosts – they're just a few of the fascinating men and women you'll meet in this stellar, boundary-defying anthology.

From a heartless lover to a therapist who's exposed for being a child hater, Weldon's characters search for meaning, betray their vows, take pleasure in others' misfortunes, or get pushed out of the family manse by their grasping offspring...

Now in her ninth decade, Fay Weldon is one of the foremost chroniclers of our time, a novelist who spoke to an entire generation of women by daring to say the things that no one else would. Her work ranges over novels, short stories, children's books, nonfiction, journalism, television, radio, and the stage. She was awarded a CBE in 2001.
