Synopsis

When Richard and Liffey buy their dream cottage in the country, they little know what Nature has in store for them. While Richard sows wild oats in London, pregnant Liffey has to face alone the mysterious workings of her body — and the terrifying, primitive malevolence of her witch-neighbour, Mabs.

Review

`Wicked insight and amusement... the novel is unmistakeably Weldon' Financial Times `Magical... she lays out the ingredients of her brew with a kind of manipulative glee, coolly moulding her characters and then neatly skewering them with mockery' Daily Mail `Fay Weldon is a national treasure.' Sam Leith, Literary Review `Weldon, like Dickens, can have her readers perched on the edge of their chairs with excitement by the end of the first page and hold them there in a state of riveted curiosity until the last words.' Evening Standard `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
