Four accomplished women—Matilda, Jo, Penny, and Cressy—find themselves sidelined by less qualified men in their careers. Refusing to accept this injustice, they form the Revenge Club to devise clever and humorous plans for retribution. The narrative explores themes of female empowerment and resilience against societal norms that underestimate women. With a mix of wit and dark humor, the story promises an entertaining journey as the women take matters into their own hands, proving that age is just a number when it comes to ambition and vengeance.

Grief and unexpected camaraderie intertwine as three widows discover they were all married to the same man, Jason, who has met a grisly fate. Gwen's initial shock at losing her husband escalates when she learns from Tish that Jason was also her spouse. Their quest for answers leads them to Cairo, where they encounter another widow, uniting them in their search for justice against a mysterious figure named Skye. As they navigate betrayal and loss, the women find strength, friendship, and self-discovery amidst their darkly comedic adventure.

From tales of a narcoleptic biscuit lover, con artists with a twist, and the accidental death of a hamster; to consequences of accidental gluing, the imagined world of extreme shopping, and the delightfully surreal world of canine dating, these 15 boldly imaginative stories range across a multitude of genres and themes.

When the odds are against you, it's time to get even. Matilda, Jo, Penny and Cressy are all women at the top of their game; so imagine their surprise when they start to be personally overlooked and professionally pushed aside by less-qualified men. Only they're not going down without a fight. Society might think the women have passed their amuse-by dates but the Revenge Club have other plans. After all, why go to bed angry when you could stay up and plot diabolical retribution? Let the games begin.

With the wisecracking Lette at the helm, the gags flow thick and fast . . . But it is the thread of seriousness in the writing, the insistence on respecting people as individuals and not labelling them, that makes this an exceptional novel. Mail on Sunday

Ženy mají mnoho chyb. Muži mají jen dvě. Všechno, co řeknou, a všechno, co udělají. Kathy Letteová shromáždila v tomto ironickém průvodci svoje nejjiskřivější vtípky a slovní hříčky o mužích. Čeká nás ničivá porce humoru a větší než malé množství nestydatosti. Autorka nabízí praktické rady („Když chce snídani do postele, řekněte mu, ať spí v kuchyni.“), nenapodobitelný a osobitý přístup k věčnému boji obou pohlaví („Je statisticky dokázáno, že sto procent rozvodů začíná sňatkem.“) a trefné postřehy týkající se silnějších protějšků („Všichni muži se považují za bohy. Jejich manželky jsou bohužel ateistky.“) Dokonalý dárek pro ženy, které si neberou servítky.

Meet Merlin. He's Lucy's bright, beautiful son, who just happens to be autistic. Since Merlin's father left them in the lurch, Lucy has made Merlin the centre of her world. Struggling with the joys and tribulations of raising her adorable yet challenging child, Lucy doesn't have room for any other man in her life.

Lucy je vdaná už tak dlouho, že by oddací list měla mít napsaný klínovým písmem. Když ji Jasper po osmnácti letech opustí, je ochromená hrůzou. Co si teď počne s údržbou auta a kdo bude při gruntování tahat těžký nábytek? Už ani nemluvě o věčně rebelující patnáctileté dceři Tally, která z rozpadu rodiny obviňuje právě svou matku. Nedostatek sebevědomí je dědičná záležitost. Člověk ji získá od vlastních dětí. Zatímco Tally se snaží najít ve svém rodném listu nějakou skulinu, aby se mohla přihlásit k adopci, Lucy by se chtěla smířit nejen se ztrátou životního partnera, ale také s tím, že potomstvo je na celý život, a ne jen k Vánocům. Je možné, že teenageři jsou trestem božím za to, že jsme si kdysi dopřáli trochu sexu? Tato kniha je radou, co dělat, když člověk zjistí, že před lety ztratil samou láskou hlavu. (Honem ji zase najít, než si ustavičným narážením poškodí doma nábytek.) Ale hlavně je to návod na přežití pro všechny, kdo už si uvědomili, že dokonalé manželství je jako ženský orgasmus — většina jich je jen hraných.. Příběh téměř vystřižený ze života, a přesto plný humoru a nadhledu.
