I found this among the squalid mess on my mother's bedside table.
It is all about how a very tall unattractive woman wreaks revenge
on the husband who deserted her. By the end of the book the woman
is medium height, rich and beautiful, and the husband is a
gibbering penniless wreck. I think my Father should read it before
it is too late. Review by Adrian Mole, whose diaries include
'Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years' (Kirkus UK)
'A savage, sadistic even, but beautifully and compellingly written
satire' Sunday Express Ruth Patchett never thought of herself as
particularly devilish. 'The fun grows steadily blacker and wilder'
Guardian Rather the opposite in fact - simply a tall, not terribly
attractive woman living a quiet life as a wife and mother in a
respectable suburb. But when she discovers that her husband is
having a passionate affair with the lovely romantic novelist Mary
Fisher, she is so seized by envy that she becomes truly diabolic.
Within weeks she has burnt down the family home, collected the
insurance, made love to the local drunk and embarked on a course of
destruction and revenge. 'A tour de force: a macabre, fast-moving
moral fable' The Times A blackly comic satire of the war of the
sexes, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil is the fantasy of the
wronged woman made real.
