I'm not sure how to describe this book. It is funny and depressing at the same time but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Weldon's sharp and sarcastic pen always serves up a good read, this time being no exception. I do, however, find Weldon's brand of almost militant feminism and 'blame it on the man'-attitude somewhat onesided and aged, which of course is also due to the book being published in 1987. Bottom line: interesting read, which added a nuance to the literary feminist tradition.

This is such a cleverly written book. Spoken in the voice of Sonia from her Pyschiatric bed it tells the story of Natalie following her husband's desertion.

This book is written beautifully, but it’s just to slow paced for me. I found that nothing really happens and it was just a bit boring. It uses complex language which is lovely to read and you can tell it’s been written by a great author but because of the language used it took me so long to read and it just dragged.
