Weldon, Fay
After hard times and odd jobs as a lone parent, Fay Weldon became one of the top advertising copywriters of her generation. She moved to TV drama (writing the pilot episode of the iconic series Upstairs Downstairs ) then turned to novels - including the classic The Life and Loves of a She Devil and The Cloning of Joanna May . Fay´s sequence of novels about the Dilberne family, which encompasses her Love and Inheritance trilogy and Before the War , draws to a close with this final instalment, After the Peace . Fay´s been made a CBE for services to literature and she´s currently a Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University.
