Synopses & Reviews
Alice Thomas Ellis introduces a remarkable collection of revenge stories by some of the finest contemporary women writers. This book seeks not to relay the ever burgeoning factual accounts of how women get their own back, but to show their reactions to betrayal, cruelty and simple nastiness through the filter of fiction.One of the most satisfying means of revenge, as these authors clearly realise, is to put the offender in a story.Ellis studies the history of women's revenge against men, and emerges with fascinating insights into the dynamic differences that place the sexes in passionate opposition.
