‘Sparkling, sharply observing, insights delivered with a light touch that puts us in a good mood, however dark the comedy’ Spectator

Praise for Fay Weldon’s short stories:
‘Weldon’s stories pull no punches. There is always humour, and the wry and life-hardened smiles of middle age are often set in contrast to the po-faced enthusiasms and idiocies of youth.’
Independent on Sunday
‘Weldon is an enthusiastic observer of social trends and the stories are bang up-to-date.’
Financial Times
‘Immaculately written, simple, stylish and swallowable whole. Her stories are so smart and sassy and multiply ironic.’
Scotsman
From the pen of one of Britain’s leading writers come nineteen glittery tales about the way we live now, as lovers, partners, children, parents. Or alone.
Stories of passion, desire and necessary restraint;
of the near future, the recent past;
of old habits, new technology;
of won’t-be mothers and would-be fathers;
of houses, ancient and modern.
Stories in fact, to enlighten us to the true and timeless nature of the human condition in this the new age of self-knowledge.
“ Sparkling, sharply observing insights delivered with a light touch that puts us in a good mood, however dark the comedy.”
