This novel of male control and female power features sixty-year-old Joanna May, divorced for infidelity, who learns that her rich ex-husband has cloned her into four women, all displaying different aspects of Joanna
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Now in her 60s, attractive Joanna May has lost her husband, ruthless executive Carl, to divorce, and her lover to death, apparently a victim of her husband's hitman. Alone and childless, Joanna tries to regroup and in doing so makes an extraordinary discovery: Carl had four eggs removed from her reproductive system and "cloned" when she was 30. The four resulting women, implanted as embryos in different women, eventually meet up with one another and with Joanna. An odd premise, indeed. Weldon has a deft hand, and although her characters are mostly stiff and unlikable (particularly Carl, who survived a grim childhood), the story moves along briskly. This would not suit the taste of many fiction readers but is not without appeal. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 11/15/89.
