The Rules Of Life
Miss Gabriella Sumpter, born in 1941 and laid to rest in 2002 after a totally selfish but quite agreeable life, has discovered that many of the accepted rules of life are simply untrue, and has decide that she, who had done so little good in her life except to herself, would like to help others by passing on a few conclusions she's reached after three months under the sod. In this vivid and ribald tale Fay Weldon, known for her witty feminist fiction, has created a memorable character in the form of Gabriella's ghost. Set in the near future, after a technological breakthrough that allows priests of "The Great New Fictional Religion" to record the voices of the recently departed, The Rules of Life is a light-hearted and wickedly funny satire on the present, coupling the revelations of the GNFR (whose dogmas are still being hammered out) with the memoirs of a sublimely hard-hearted vamp.
