The President’s Child by Fay Weldon
This novel is written by feisty feminist Fay Weldon. It tells the story of Isabel, who has an affair with the American Presidential candidate. As passion cools, Isabel is caught up in an impossible situation: how to raise a potential President’s child while staying true to her own needs. As her interests may threaten those of the Presidential candidate, Isabel’s very sanity is questioned and she finds herself caught in a trap.
Weldon explores the relationship of woman to man, woman to the workplace, woman to the community and woman to her child, in this gripping tale that explores what it means to be a woman in the modern world.
