More about the book
"'...I met the sad menopausee and offered her, at the flick of a switch, a return of beauty, youth, and desire. And - after all, I'm no stinge-merchant - power and money as well. Why not? If a man, such as Dr Faustus, was offered such commodities by myself... why not a woman, in this age of equality?'" Emma Tennant's modern-day reworking of the Faust legend describes a young woman's dark discovery of just what befell her kindly long-lost grandmother.
