She wears fashionably droopy clothes, but she is plain and--almost worse--intelligent. At nearly six feet tall, she is known unkindly by her family as \"the giantess.\" Fortunately, Vivien is rich, so she can travel to London and bribe a charismatic gentleman publisher to marry her. What he does not know is that Vivien is pregnant with another man's child and will die in childbirth in just a few months... Fay Weldon, with one eye on the present and one on the past, offers Vivien's fate, along with that of London between World War I and World War II. This is a city fizzing with change, full of flat-chested flappers, shell-shocked soldiers, and aristocrats clinging onto the past. Inventive, warm, playful, and fullof Weldon's trademark ironic edge, Before the War is a spellbinding novel from one of the best writers of our time\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48372999618795,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":65.92,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781250121233-1.jpg?v=1781670281","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781250121233","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
