Read by Sian Thomas
There’s a gathering of high-achieving ladies at expensive Castle Spa, over the ten days of Christmas and New Year. None of them have met before. Why have they put their lives on hold? Perhaps they think they’ve come to seek through Botox, aromatherapy and extravagant pampering, a better understanding of their lives?
But the ladies are wilful: they lounge around in the Jacuzzi, drinking champagne and confessing the stories of their lives, startling and scandalous though these may be. Perhaps they have found a better therapy?
Witty, compassionate and casually libidinous, Fay Weldon’s sparkling new novel, in its ten days of storytelling, nods back to the Decameron of Boccaccio - who dedicated his book to the ladies of his time.
‘marshalling those elegant, deadly sentences - there’s simply no touching Fay Weldon as a writer’ Observer
