Thirty years later, Marjorie, Chloe, and Grace make their way through an almost unrecognizable post-war society, coping with husbands, children, parents, and the messy business of life. Now in her ninth decade, Fay Weldon is one of the foremost chroniclers of our time, a novelist who spoke to an entire generation of women by daring to say the things that no-one else would. Her work ranges over novels, short stories, children's books, nonfiction, journalism, television, radio, and the stage. She was awarded a CBE in 2001.

Ironicky laděný román o manželství a vztazích mezi mužem a ženou. Autorka líčí psychologický dopad rozvodu na všechny zúčastněné, zejména na první ženu, která se s faktem rozvodu nikdy nesmířila. Její náhlá smrt nepřináší uvolnění, ale naopak problémy mrtvé ženy přecházejí na potůstalé. Stručné, úsečné, ale velmi výstižné líčení s neustálým prolínáním subjektivních a objektivních phledů na dané situace je dobrou psychologickou studií.

"A wickedly funny, multilayered treatise on feminism, marriage, sex, journalism, and the class system".--People.
