Mair RigbyI'm not at all well-read in the work of Fay Weldon, but I did love 'Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen'. A couple of her short stories have also stayed with me.
Jane Rosenberg LaForgeThe death of #author #FayWeldon has "prompted immense sadness in a wealth of #writers who enjoyed her vivid company and also felt enormously encouraged by both her warm attentiveness and her example." An appreciation & look into her methods: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jan/05/fay-weldon-death-novels-women
AnneWelshSo sad about Fay Weldon. Adding rereads of some of my favourites by her to my #TBR2023
Image: The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (novel 1983; TV series 1986) which I remember watching with my Mum as a teenager.

chillbettyInteresting that media report Fay Weldon as leaving NZ "when a child" when she was in fact aged 15.
Proviso: am very much not one for "claiming" people for New Zealand.
