A wonderful new slice of the bizarre from Weldon. We all know that Fay Weldon is no stranger to controversy. For years she has highlighted the absurdity of male-female relationships with more wit and sensibility than anyone else writing today. Her new novel is guaranteed to show that she is without doubt still the foremost chronicler of this generation's sexual and marital woes. How would it be if a man were actually to wake up one morning as a woman? How would he cope? Would his personality change completely? This is the situation her hero is forced to confront and the world he must face is so familiar, and yet so strange, that this is without doubt one of Weldon's funniest, most astute novels for years.
