I'd never read any of Carol Ann Duffy's work, and this came highly recommended by my daughter, who did it for GCSE. If you still like something after dissecting it for an exam, it's probably good. This did not disappoint. I read it at one sitting, though I will go back to it and read at greater depth.
Familiar stories twisted and turned and retold from another (the woman's point of view). Clever, witty, ironic, cutting, funny, sad, revealing. Loved it.
