A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Elegantly written, sharply perceptive and fantastically good fun' Daily Mail.

'She's a queen of words. A tribal elder' Caitlin Moran.

'Funny, waspish and acute ... a fierce retrospective on the achievements of the women's movement' The Times.

'One of our very best writers' The Sunday Times.

'A brilliant black comedy' Mail on Sunday Event magazine.

'Fay has been incredibly vocal about transgender issues, and her new book features her trademark black humour - and some shocking twists' Closer.

'A bawdy controversial read' Woman & Home.

'It's good to have Fay Weldon back, poking the hornet's nest of modern feminism with her sly eye' Daily Express.

'Weldon's amused defiance is irresistible' Mail on Sunday.

'Scalpel-sharp and laceratingly funny' Good Housekeeping.

'A delight to read. Each chapter has a hilarious heading, revealing Weldon's affinity with the pre-Romantic tradition of Sterne and Swift' Irish Times.

'Fay Weldon's new novel is certain to be a bestseller' --Catholic Herald.

'I suspect Weldon couldn't care less about political correctness ... for her, it's all literary mischief' --i newspaper.

'A kind of coda to a brilliant literary career ... The satire is neat and very funny ... A politically incorrect novel that is at the same time deliberately indecorous in a way that will make anyone feel like a prude if they object to a comedy as swaggering in its confidence and as subtle in its observation as this ... Obviously the work of a genius' --Sydney Morning Herald.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'The women of the world gave up romance, subservience and submission, and once empowered, took to hard work, truth and reality. Much good has it done them.'

Ruth Patchett, the original She Devil, is now eighty-four and keen to retire. But who can take up her mantle?

Enter Tyler Patchett, our new kind of heroine and Ruth's grandson. He's an ultra-confident, twenty-three-year-old man: beautiful, resentful and unemployed. Tyler won't be satisfied until he can transition into the ultimate symbol of power and status. A woman.

In Fay Weldon's 1983 classic, The Life and Loves of a She Devil, women fought men for power and won. In 2017, men take a decisive step to get their power back...
