"'Moon Over Minneapolis' has parables for everyone, words for us all. Sharp, witty, incisive, she pares off layers of everyday superficialities"
THE TIMES
Immaculately written, simple, stylish and swallowable whole. Her stories are so smart and sassy and multiply ironic"
SCOTSMAN
"Weaving them all together is Fay Weldon's distinctive authorial voice: wise, knowing, forthright"
INDEPENDENT
"They are bite-sized and easily consumed yet have the air of something that is doing you good. No sticky romances here, but tart observations on contemporary society: on the foolish, spoilt rich, the deserving poor, on mothers and daughters, on the fatal attraction of crumbling old houses, on mental illness, on marriage, on cats. There is little on which she is not expert."
THE HERALD
"Has the capacity, especially when approaching the casual horror which awaits us at the end of many of her stories, to make one splutter with merriment at the same time as twitching with anguish."
GUARDIAN
"Fay Weldon's voice is as unmistakable as her acerbic wit"
FINANCIAL TIMES
"The author's uncanny ability to deliver a serious message with teasing, wry humour remains one of her greatest strengths"

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Fay Weldon (1931 – 2023) overcame hard times and odd jobs as a lone parent, before becoming one of the top advertising copywriters of her generation. She moved into TV drama (writing the pilot episode of the iconic series Upstairs, Downstairs in 1971) then turned to novels – including the Booker-shortlisted Praxis (1978) and the feminist classic The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (1983). Fay was a Professor of Writing at Bath Spa University and was made a CBE for services to literature.
