Social mores come under bestselling author Philippa Gregory's acute scrutiny in this reissue of a long-unavailable novel of betrayal, revenge and liberation... Alice Hartley can no longer arouse the interest of her pompous husband, the adulterous professor. Despite her efforts, she still leaves him cold. Just as she is compelled to face this chilling truth, she meets Michael, a young student with an excessive libido. In Michael, Alice discovers an endless supply of all she has sought: revenge, sex and a large house suitable for conversion. Soon the house is thigh-deep with women joyfully casting off the shacles of their oppression. Sadly, some narrow-minded neigbours and numerous forces of the law seem completely impervious to all those healing vibrations...… (altro)

Well thanks to this book I now find myself really locked in a book slump. I hope to break that slump soon.

I have loved Phillipa Gregory's other works and I mean loved. I was very excited to delve into something that seemed a little different but since it was Gregory would be good. Sadly I was to be disappointed. While the writing is still in the usual reader friendly style that makes the book easy to read and a fast read, the story is just bad. There is not a single likeable character in the whole of the book. I wanted to like Alice at first being dumped by her Husband, a free spirit. That like did not last very long at all.

Once again that seems to be all I can say about this book. I have issues with saying negative things about books, but safe to say I did not enjoy this one much at all. ( )

A very odd book! It's about a manipulative woman who is also oppressed by her husband which I suppose would also cover a lot of Gregory's historical novels. This one is present day and features the wife of a University professor taking up with a student in his Aunt's old house.
Some of her ideas are hilarious (garden-aerobics - make women pay to do your gardening...) and others take a snipe at modern life such as women feeling forced to carry their babies 24/7 because African women do. The dolphins were a little far fetched I felt but I won't say any more.... ( )

I'm not naturally someone who reads funny books - but I read this in one 'lay-in' through the night, in hysterical giggles for the most part! ( )
