Fay Weldon Boeken

Drie vrouwen die elkaar tijdens de oorlog op het Engelse platteland leerden kennen en gezamenlijk opgroeiden, blijven, ook al zijn zij ieder hun eigen weg gegaan, sterk met elkaar verbonden.

Een jonge vrouw troggelt een vrouw haar man af, waarop de verlaten vrouw wraak neemt door met haar Jaguar op haar rivale in te rijden.

Een gescheiden vrouw bezoekt na haar dood een aantal mensen om zich te wreken voor het haar aangedane onrecht.

This collection of short stories dealing with the perils of love, sex, and marrage includes "In the Great War," "The School Run," and "The Sad Life of the Rich"

A distillation of our times: eleven short stories from this brilliant contemporary writer. ‘Watching Me, Watching You’ was Fay Weldon’s first collection of short stories. They vary widely in theme, while remaining avowedly feminist, sometimes bitter, sometimes angry, yet always handled with wit, irony and courage. A sense of sisterhood is one of the most important qualities a woman may possess and its loss, as in one particular story, ‘Alopecia’, can bring tragedy. On the other hand, in ‘Threnody’, a women’s commune can be gently mocked, and the failings of the leading characters are human rather than masculine. Fay Weldon’s observation is always wonderfully acute and ‘Watching Me, Watching You’ is dominated throughout by her humour and intensity of purpose, giving to these stories a marvellous strength and unity.
