The Devil, in all its forms, is hardly a stranger to Fay Weldon , creator of The Life and Loves of She-Devil. Witchcraft, crime and black comedy lie at the heart of her work, and her new novel, Growing Rich, is no exception.
She began writing in 1967 with a television play, The Fat Woman's Tale.
Since then her work, controversial, inventive and witty, has made her one of Britain's most successful writers. In a Bookshelf special,
Nigel Forde presents a profile of Fay Weldon.
