Moon Over Minneapolis

A vibrant collection of stories about women making life-altering decisions, by the bestselling author of The Life and Loves of a She Devil.

In this superlative anthology, Fay Weldon introduces readers to a cast of mothers, children, wives, and lovers—all of them unforgettable, timeless female characters.

In "Subject to Diary," a successful forty-ish career woman sits in an abortion clinic pondering motherhood. In "The Year of the Green Pudding," a woman who seems to doom everyone and everything she touches vows never to fall in love again. And an analyst's office is the setting for a series of stories that feature four female patients—including a murderer—who lay bare their souls.

Featuring locales that range from Sarajevo to Copenhagen to a hospital for the criminally insane, Moon Over Minneapolis is a major collection from an author whose sardonic wit and razor-edge humor reveal her own humanity and hope for the human race.
