Author(s): Fay Weldon

General fiction

Ten high achieving ladies are gathered in the week between Christmas and the New Year at the expensive Castle Spa, seeking, through Botox, aromatherapy and general all round pampering, a new beginning to their lives. Sparkling, witty, always compassionate and occasionally libidinous, Fay Weldon's new novel recalls Boccaccio's late medieval masterwork, The Decameron.
