Book description
A fast-moving, elegant novel set in contemporary London in the glittery
world of charity auctions, big business, high art, and more than enough
money to spare.
Take one wealthy businessman fresh on his second marriage to an avid,
successful young woman, one artist and a portrait for sale, two women
wearing Bulgari necklaces, add a touch of the supernatural, a big dose
of envy, stir, and see what happens. 'Our most intelligent and
hard-hitting feminist novelist today' Daily Mail
'Weldon is a gifted tease of a writer.'
Sunday Times
'Prolific and provocative, Fay Weldon shines brightest in the league
table of British women novelists.' Time Out Fay Weldon was born in
England and raised in New Zealand. She took degrees in Economics at the
University of St Andrews in Scotland and after a decade of odd jobs and
hard times began writing fiction. She is now well known as novelist,
screenwriter and cultural journalist.
