Big Girls Don't Cry

On a balmy evening in 1971, five women meet in a cramped living room in the suburbs of London. Tired of their husbands and their unsatisfying lives, they form the aptly named Medusa, a book publishing house founded on the principle of "getting even."

Summary

This latest offering from critically acclaimed author Fay Weldon is a darkly comic romp through the minefields of friendship and feminism. On a balmy evening in 1971, five women meet in a cramped living room in the suburbs of London. Tired of their husbands and their own unsatisfying lives, they form the aptly named Medusa, a book publishing house founded on the principle of "getting even." With wry and savvy humor, Weldon weaves us through twenty years of these women's lives, as good intentions fall by the wayside and the hazards of their new politics, sex, and infidelity take their toll.
