Summary
With the husband in jail for imperiling the financial structure of the nation, Eleanor grants exclusive interviews to two journalists, Hugo Vansitart and Valerie Jones. Though they seem more preoccupied with each other than with their elusive subject, their goal is the same: to capture the essence of Eleanor Darcy. Hugo is loking for truth and pragmatism in Eleanor's vision: Valerie is in quest of the woman's struggle.
From their diverse portraits, Eleanor Darcy emerges, and so does her remarkable visioncomplete with shockingly sensible ideas about child-rearing, abortion, education, integration, fundamentalism, economicsand, of course, a new twist on that old story of the sexes.
Fay Weldon has once again skewered the conventions of modern society with wit and wisdom, shining her flashlight on the threadbare morals of modern life.

Media reviews
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A wonderfully rollicking, satiric, yet sensible book on how the world should be"
Charleston Evening Post
"Morality, manners, the power for good and evil of female intelligence and anger reach an apotheosis in the story of Eleanor Darcy. Witty, deeply felt, provocative"
Francine Prose, front page, Washington Post Book World
