I'm not at all well-read in the work of Fay Weldon, but I did love 'Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen'. A couple of her short stories have also stayed with me.

The death of #author #FayWeldon has "prompted immense sadness in a wealth of #writers who enjoyed her vivid company and also felt enormously encouraged by both her warm attentiveness and her example." An appreciation & look into her methods: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jan/05/fay-weldon-death-novels-women

RIP #FayWeldon, I enjoyed her books, her wit so much: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-64160732

Interesting that media report Fay Weldon as leaving NZ "when a child" when she was in fact aged 15.

Proviso: am very much not one for "claiming" people for New Zealand.
