Nothing to Wear and Nowhere to Hide : A Collection of Short Stories EPUB
by Fay Weldon
EPUB
Description
A wonderful collection on topical themes from the controversial 'product-placement' author of The Bulgari Connection.A superb new collection of stories: shrewd, sharp, insightful, with a cheerfully dark view of the world.The wronged wife remains a lingering presence even after the mistress has moved in to her home. Oriole, an enormously successful businesswoman married to the ineffectual Hugh, begins to re-evaluate her life, when her best crockery keeps mysteriously flying through the air.
A sculptor finds love while protecting a Roman graveyard from property developers.
A Christmas gathering turns murderous for one unhappy guest.
A travel writer watches, horrified, as her father runs of with her best friend, but is soon planning revenge.The entire collection is shot through with Weldon's trademark mischievous deceitfulness, her hidden meanings and agendas.
Rich, mad, greedy, deceitful, vulnerable her characters may be, but the stories maintain a defiantly optimistic air and sparkle with the irrepressible wit with which Weldon writes about the lives of modern men and women.
