some good stuff here. Duffy is psychologially acute,and there is something horribly winning aobut her heroine.
Duffy is deadly, and very funny, on the narcissism and self delusion which seem to keep ... coupled love going (Independent)
NZ reviews:
A witty, sexy, modern fable ... Duffy has a wonderful, cynical view of modern relationships (Gay Times)
An intelligent piece of writing that forces us to re-examine sex and love in today's society (Express)
'SOTC is great fun. Playful, witty, satirical and erotic, with a great deal of word-play mized with the foreplay, it makes ideal holiday reading'
North & South, NZ
A darkly post-modern fairy-tale for the This Life generation ... A wise, witty, wicked book (Scotsman)
'Now there is an antidote to all the saccharine. SOTC by S D is an ingenious satire. What if a princess were created without a heart and with a desire to deparate allcouple, gay partnerships included - all becuase the compasion fairy got stuck in the Tube train and didn't deliver her gift of grace?'
(NZ)
'Far too many tired, bitter books claim to be satires on modern relationships. However this one is both mercilessly undercutting and very funny. I t is a sect, lively fairytale in which no one is allowed to live happily ever after...a good read for when you're feeling cynical about romantic sweetness and coupledom and need a good laugh'
E. Post, NZ
Présentation de l'éditeur
A princess, perfect in every way except one, arrives in London from a land of milk and honey, and sets up home in a Notting Hill tower block. Her self-appointed mission - to break up couples in love. For what she lacks is a heart.
With gleeful dedication, she sets about seducing a husband-to-be, prizing apart two devoted gay men, and ensnaring a contentedly married woman. But things start to go wrong: despite herself she becomes fond of one of her lovers, and discovers a tiny heart growing in her chest. The Queen and King, meanwhile, have despatched her brother to stop her. Will he be a match for her? Her magic is stronger, but then he does have a heart of his own ...

Etat : Bueno. : This is a warm and funny story about a good-hearted man from Alabama who wins a medal for bravery in the Vietnam War, who meets the President of the United States, and whose best friend is an ape called Sue. "Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.
