All I really have to say about this one is WTF?
From Amazon.ca:
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!
Okay, seriously, from reading the above, you'd still never imagine the things that happen in this book and I am wondering if Philippa Gregory partook in some drugs to come up with this storyline. Like it says above, this is a rerelease, and on the inside of the jacket it says that this book has been made into a miniseries on the BBC!
It's a short read at just 249 pages, and at some points you have to laugh out loud at the absurdity of it all. I don't think I regret reading it, or feel it was a waste of my time, but.. yeah.
That's all I have to say about that.
