Yuletide Break for High Achievers – sixteen women take advantage of this special offer and spend ten days at the Castle Spa. These include a Trophy Wife, Journalist, Brain Surgeon, Stepmother, Weather Girl, Psychoanalyst and Vicar’s Ex-wife. Between beauty treatments and meal times they relax around the Jacuzzi and bare their souls. We hear confessions of vanity, greed and betrayal; their tales are intimate, shocking and witty. The narrator, Phoebe, is both likeable and wise; as she says, ‘if anything is stranger than fiction it’s the truth’. Fay Weldon is well known for her understanding of the female sex; in this brilliant, satirical novel she turns the spotlight on the role of women in today’s world.
