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.
