Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Meet the shrink from hell – alternately laughing and gasping, the reader follows Annette out of the pit and into the daylight...’
Miami Herald
‘Weldon scythes her way like a flymo...’
Times Educational Supplement
‘Affliction works like a slow-burning fuse...’
Independent on Sunday
‘It has crackling dialogue, tremendous pace and a monstrous husband called Spicer...’
Daily Telegraph
“Annette” said Spicer to his wife ten years after the beginning of their relationship and five months into her pregnancy, “I won’t be able to come with you to the clinic this evening. I have matters to attend to that are more important.” And so begins the destruction of everything sure and certain in Annette’s life.
In her most explosive novel to date, Fay Weldon reveals with passionate intensity, the horrifying power of therapy as both Spicer and Annette learn what both the past, and the stars, say about their partnership. Fact or fiction, truth or falsehood, the listener has to decide as the action moves at an incredible pace to the denouement.
