«Vida y amores de una Maligna» is the novel by Fay Weldon, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Ruth, a meek wife and mother living in a London suburb until her husband abandons her for Mary Fisher, a successful writer of romantic novels. From that humiliation, Ruth begins a radical transformation that leads her to burn down her house, abandon her children and rob her husband, while questioning whether the word «maligna» ultimately defines her. With a tone of black comedy and a satirical eye, the novel explores female identity, revenge and liberation from imposed social roles.
The work is number 21 in the Andanzas collection from Tusquets Editores and was published in 1985. It is the tenth novel by the British author, originally appearing in 1983 under the title «The Life and Loves of a She-Devil».
Recommended for readers interested in contemporary British literary fiction with acerbic humour and a female protagonist determined to question gender conventions.
Fay Weldon was a British author, essayist and playwright.
