"THE LIFE AND LOVES OF A SHE-DEVIL by Faye Weldon"

- Collapse

It's about a plain woman whose husband leaves her for a successful romance novelist. She does everything she can to sabotage their idyllic life together, like dump the kids on them and arrange it so that the novelist's mother gets kicked out of her nursing home. All the time, she is getting plastic surgery in order to resemble the novelist. A movie was made of it called SHE-DEVIL, starring Rosanne Barr and Meryl Streep as the wife and the novelist, and Ed Begley Jr. as the straying husband.
