On a miserable January morning Sarah is sitting on a plane to Tenerife -
dickheads' destination of choice - for a week-long getaway. She's just
realised that she's very angry and becoming a bitter bitch, despite being just
thirty years old. With her on the plane she has a copy of Erica Jong's Fear of
Flying and wishes it were 1975 instead of 2005.
Sarah never intended for things to turn out the way they have: she just
dreamed of love like everyone else. But now she's sitting here, thinking about
all the injustices she's suffered. Thinking about how thoroughly fooled she
was by the promise of love - the one that makes us want to start a family.
Thinking about all the women she knows who, like her, were drained of all
their energy by family hell - an inheritance passed down directly from
generation to generation, from her restless mother's eczema-covered dishpan
hands to her own nervous over-achiever complex.
Angry and candid, Bitter Bitch is an uncompromising novel, at the heart of
which is one of the most important women's issues: how can we ever have an
egalitarian society when we can't even live in equality with those we love?
