Description

A provocative view of modern society weaved into a tale of explosive love and, perhaps, even, black magic.
Scandalous Eleanor Darcy, wild young wife of a world-famous economist, sketches her vision of Utopia to two journalists, Hugo Vansitart and Valarie Jones. In glorious detail, she describes an earthly paradise of peace, love and technological progress where sex is plentiful and money does not exist. Such is Eleanors charisma that, to their own astonishment, Hugo and Valerie abandon their families and set up home together om a Holiday Inn.

Reviews

To read Fay Weldon is like drinking Champagne
Times

A crash course in philosophy, religion, politics, idealism, with sexual passion, love and the nature of betrayal thrown in
Womans Journal

Prolific and provocative, Fay Weldon shines brightest in the league table of British women novelists
Time Out

Fay Weldon provokes you to think. Youd expect no less of the social and sexual soothsayer of our literary times
Company

Darcys Utopia is among the most frolicsome of her novels, but it still manages to display her quiet, grave insistence that we change our ways.
