She's also been very diverted by handsome new neighbour Marcus and she knows she shouldn't be …So when best friend Ann suggests a weekend away in the country, Lizzie jumps at the chance. Will this give Lizzie some much needed perspective and allow her to mend her marriage?

  Ten women indulge themselves—and divulge their secrets—in this witty novel: “Immensely entertaining…The entire gamut of the female experience is covered.”—The Times (UK) 
   
  In the lull between Christmas and New Year’s, ten high-achieving ladies are gathered at the expensive Castle Spa in Cumbria, England, seeking to rejuvenate themselves with Botox, aromatherapy, and all-around pampering. They lounge around in the Jacuzzi, sipping champagne and telling each other the stories of their lives—from a trophy wife’s spell in a Greek prison to a brain surgeon’s experience with twins and mistaken identity to a stepmother’s reverse-Cinderella story.  
   
  From a Booker Prize nominee whose work has been acclaimed for “extraordinary wit and insight” (The Baltimore Sun), The Spa is a darkly funny sketch of a group of women who, despite facing prejudice, imprisonment, domestic catastrophes, and romantic debacles, have risen to the top of their respective worlds. 
   
  “Eminently readable.”—Financial Times

  Feared and enjoyed around the world, Michael Winner's column in the Sunday Times is something of a phenomenon. One day, on a whim, the great man threw in a few of his favourite Jewish jokes. From such tiny acorns a cult following has grown, and old Hymie, the butt of many jokes, took on new life. By popular demand, here is a collection of the ribald, edgy and side-splittingly funny bon mots from Winner's much-loved (and hated) alter ego. This is not for the easily offended!
