Woman's World

by Graham Rawle

Woman's World Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Painstakingly assembled from 40,000 fragments of text snipped from womens magazines, this strange and wonderful novel moves at the breakneck pace of a pulp thriller. A stunning visual tour de force, "Womans World" is also a powerful reflection on societys definition of what it means to be a woman.

Synopsis:

Norma Fontaine lives in a world of handy tips and sensible advice. Whether its choosing the right girdle or honing her feminine allure, she measures life by the standards set in womens magazines. But Norma discovers that the real world is less delightful—and more sinister—than the one portrayed in the glossies. When dark secrets threaten her brothers blossoming romance, Norma must decide whether to sacrifice life in a womans world for the sake of her brothers happiness. As her decision is slowly revealed, readers realize that, like life in the magazines, Norma isnt quite what she seems.
