Review
‘No matter how duff you are feeling, it would be hard to read this novel and not feel a new woman (or even a new man?) afterwards. Splitting is a shout of triumph about a woman who does more than survive, and its anger is tempered by mirth. Weldon has reinvented herself as a modern Restoration comic. Her story has a seventeenth-century savagery, witty and calculating sexuality.’
Observer
‘Stirs wit and sorrow into a literary cauldron of mischief, power and justice.’

From the Back Cover
Jelly White, secretary extraordinaire; Lady Rice, soon to be divorced wife of Sir Edwin; Angel, promiscuous to a degree; Angelica, ex-kinky virgin who gave birth to them all...
The events in Fay Weldon's latest novel are set in motion when Sir Edwin Rice institutes divorce proceedings against his wife and she, agonised, disguises herself and takes a job as secretary to his divorce lawyer, libidinous Brian Moss.
Daring and deliciously shocking Fay Weldon's 'Splitting' is a riveting listen!
