It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days "Mantrapped" is a dazzling new work that continues Fay Weldon's critically acclaimed memoir, Auto da Fay, and tells the story of a woman down on her luck. Trisha is forty-four and at the end of her rope: creditors are coming and boyfriends have long left. Then, one day, on the stairs above her local dry cleaner, she bumps into the dashing Peter Watson, an editor for the local newspaper. After brushing past each other, they mysteriously and instantly swap souls. Peter looks down to see himself housed in Trisha's much curvier form, and Trisha discovers she's newly equipped with hairy legs and a six-pack. Mixing humor, imagination and insight, "Mantrapped" proves that Weldon is still the best at writing about the sexes. Features Summary After brushing past each other on the stairs above their local laundromat, Trice and Peter instantly and mysteriously switch souls.
