The Life and Loves of a She-Devil: A Novel | Fay Weldon
11 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
Fay Weldon takes hell hath no fury like a woman scorned to dazzling new heights in this quintessential novel about a wifes revenge Ruth loves her husband, Bobbo, a handsome, successful accountant. But Bobbo has fallen in love with Mary Fisher, a bestselling romance novelist who lives in a high tower overlooking the sea, pampered by her young, virile manservant. Mary is petite, dainty, and lovely. He tells Ruth about his affair and when Ruth reacts badly, he promptly moves out. In turn, Ruth decides to orchestrate a fiendish and masterful revenge. The Life and Loves of a She-Devil is a masterpiece about love, hate, infidelity, corrosive envy, and the best kind of revenge.

This popped up from the depths of my memory when thinking about #Changes. Ruth makes many changes to her life after her cheating husband brands her a she-devil. The ultimate revenge story.

Revenge fueled by self-righteous anger and bitterness tends to turn one into the very thing they're morally against. Quite a timeless tale.

After a morning at Garden of the Gods it's nice to sit with coffee and a book ☺️

AnneFindsJoy Is Garden of the Gods your backyard? Aaaah so nice! Visited once and loved hiking there! 6y
TheBookgeekFrau @AnneFindsJoy I'm hoping some day soon it will be my backyard; but today it was just a vacation activity. A most beautiful activity at that!!! 6y

Little Sisters | Fay Weldon

Nachdem die Litsy-Datenbank keine Inhaltsbeschreibung zur Verfügung stellt, konnte ich nicht an mich halten.

Ich fand das Zitat von @schwaetzchen so toll, da musste ich einfach wissen, worum es geht. ?
Bitte berichten auf welche Art und Weise die Fetzen fliegen. – Danke.

If you vaguely remember the movie and think you've had enough...you're wrong. The book is so much funnier and smarter and more wicked than the Hollywood version. Yeah, the plot kind of falls apart near the end, but the writing's so damn good that you won't mind.

AmyStewart I posted this last night and today it's a $2.99 ebook. Such are my powers. Grab one if you haven't read it! 8y
