Review

Book Description
Social mores come under bestselling author Philippa Gregory's acute scrutiny in this reissue of a long-unavailable novel of betrayal, revenge and liberation! Alice Hartley can no longer arouse the interest of her pompous husband, the adulterous professor. Despite her efforts, she still leaves him cold. Just as she is compelled to face this chilling truth, she meets Michael, a young student with an excessive libido. In Michael, Alice discovers an endless supply of all she has sought: revenge, sex and a large house suitable for conversion. Soon the house is thigh-deep with women joyfully casting off the shacles of their oppression. Sadly, some narrow-minded neigbours and numerous forces of the law seem completely impervious to all those healing vibrations!

I didn't like this book at all. I enjoy Philippa Gregory but I didn't like this one. If you like a off beat, out of the norm type of thing, this is for you. No doubt it will appeal to some readers. If you like regular Philipa Gregory books, don't bother with this one.

Not her best work.,

This review is from: Alice Hartley's Happiness (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of gregory's historical fiction. Actually she is one of my favorite authors. That is why I decided to stray from the historical fiction. However this was not one of her finest. I really didn't like the characters or the story line. I would have stopped reading it half way through but I didn't have anything else to read. Lucky for me it did get a bit better and was not complete torture. If your going to read any Phillipa Gregory book read any of her historical fiction. They are absolutely amazing books.

Different? You bet!,
This review is from: Alice Hartley's Happiness (Paperback)
As a fan of Phillipa Gregory's historical fiction,I was curious about this short, contemporary novel. What a delightful romp! I imagine the author saying to herself "OK, enough of all this serious stuff - time for a break." Wonderfully spontaneous and hilarious!
