Introduced by Robert Robinson
FAY WELDON , in her last book Down Among the Women, chronicled the lives of six women between 1930 and 1970. Her new novel Female Friends explores the friendship of three women originally brought together by chance during wartime evacuation. A group of women who meet regularly in North London for a WEA literature class give their views on Fay Weldon 's women in a discussion filmed in one of their homes.
Jean Marsh , who performed in and helped to originate the idea for the television series Upstairs, Downstairs, and writer Michael Frayn each pick a new book.
