Miss M | 7 comments And for something 'completely different', there's always Fay Weldon's expose:

Big Girls Don't Cry by Fay Weldon

How interesting Weldon's book is! I wasn't at all familiar with it. I wonder how the Virago ladies feel about it! Thanks for adding both of these to the list, Miss M!

Miss M | 7 comments Cate, I actually just realized today that the Weldon book started out as a Channel 4 drama back in 1998....would really like to see that! Sadly, not on DVD, though it is on their website but UK only far as I can tell and I don't want to mess with VPNs. Something to keep an eye out for...
