Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and particularly internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its 25+ year-old age. It really is an exceptional, exemplary copy for its cleanliness and brightness and a welcome edition to add to the Fay Weldon collection.
A feisty,no-holds-barred portrait of four women's attempts and failures to create a new life.There's the feminist publishing house, founded one balmy evening at sedate No.103 Chalcot Crescent in a flurry of argument,peace-making and naked dancing. There's Layla: noisy, darlingish,high-profile: 'I am the only right-thinking feminist there is.It's all the others who are out of step.' And Alice,the academic,the philosopher,the - eventually - Glastonbury witch.And Nancy,boring,sensible Nancy who is the only one with any business nous.And Stephanie - the one who leaves her husband and children to embrace politics,men,other women.
A novel based on the events surrounding the creation of the feminist publishing house Virago.
