Review
"The jacket of this book states that Fay Weldon 'received an M.A. in Economics and Psychology.' Her academic background shows in this satiric novel mainly about women, abandoned, abused, taken mean advantage of, and, in the case of the two main characters here, deserving every bit of what happens to them. Weldon wields a pen dipped in irony and vitriol. If you laugh at her work (and it is comic), it will be with wry laughter."
