Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Moon Over Mineapolis has parables for everyone, words for us all. Sharp, witty, incisive, she pares off layers of everyday superficialities.’
Times
‘Has the capacity, especially when approachng the casual horror which awaits us all at the end of many of her stories, to make one splutter with merriment at the same time as twitching with anguish.’
Guardian
‘Fay Weldon’s voice is as unmistakable as her acerbic wit.’
Financial Times
“'Moon Over Minneapolis' has parables for everyone, words for us all. Sharp, witty, incisive, she pares off layers of everyday superficialities”
THE TIMES
Immaculately written, simple, stylish and swallowable whole. Her stories are so smart and sassy and multiply ironic”
SCOTSMAN
“Weaving them all together is Fay Weldon's distinctive authorial voice: wise, knowing, forthright”
INDEPENDENT
“They are bite-sized and easily consumed yet have the air of something that is doing you good. No sticky romances here, but tart observations on contemporary society: on the foolish, spoilt rich, the deserving poor, on mothers and daughters, on the fatal attraction of crumbling old houses, on mental illness, on marriage, on cats. There is little on which she is not expert.”
THE HERALD
“Has the capacity, especially when approaching the casual horror which awaits us at the end of many of her stories, to make one splutter with merriment at the same time as twitching with anguish.”
GUARDIAN
“Fay Weldon's voice is as unmistakable as her acerbic wit”
FINANCIAL TIMES
“The author's uncanny ability to deliver a serious message with teasing, wry humour remains one of her greatest strengths”
