From Publishers Weekly
Weldon lets blood and makes the reader love it in this modern morality tale about four women friends who for 20 years shared the joys and sorrows of family and career in and near London--and who have all been paramours of the extravagantly endowed Leslie Beck.

Leslie Beck is a life force to be reckoned with. He's dealt happiness and pain to four women and held emotional sway over them. No matter that they go on with their lives; Leslie the Lucky still has the power to taunt or daunt. The challenge for Jacqueline King is to narrate a story told by many different characters, and she performs faultlessly. Each woman has her own eccentricity of speech, whether it be accent or timbre. This makes the novel easier to listen to than to read. King's reading is very intimate and is best heard on a headset because one needs to keep one's hand on the volume to catch all the delicacy.
