The Revenge Club

A subversive, irreverent revenge romp from the wickedly witty mind of Kathy Lette. Perfect for fans of Jane Fallon and Dawn O’Porter.

Best friends Matilda, Penny, Sofia and Jo are approaching their sixties with flair until, one by one, their bubbles are burst. Matilda, a bestselling novelist, is dropped by her publisher; Penny is cut from her prime-time TV show in favour of her male co-host; Sofia’s acting agent can only offer her menopause adverts and Jo… well Jo realised it’s still a man’s world a while ago.

Confronted by a society that believes they’re all past their amuse-by dates, the friends vow to face their non-entity crises together. Each has been trampled on by men, so — as the saying goes — if you can’t beat them, join them. Let the revenge games begin!

“Kathy Lette’s razzle-dazzle charm, humour and versatility sometimes obscure the seriously impressive achievement of this girl from the Shire: For fifty years now, she has articulated – with outrageous candour and an infallibly observant eye – the best and worst bits of being female. The Revenge Club is erotic fan fiction for the peri-menopausal. But amid all the hilarity and blood-Letteing (see what I did there?) there beats a solid reminder that female friendships are the love affairs that never dim.” — Annabel Crabb
