  Ten women indulge themselves—and divulge their secrets—in this witty novel: “Immensely entertaining…The entire gamut of the female experience is covered.”—The Times (UK) 
   
  In the lull between Christmas and New Year’s, ten high-achieving ladies are gathered at the expensive Castle Spa in Cumbria, England, seeking to rejuvenate themselves with Botox, aromatherapy, and all-around pampering. They lounge around in the Jacuzzi, sipping champagne and telling each other the stories of their lives—from a trophy wife’s spell in a Greek prison to a brain surgeon’s experience with twins and mistaken identity to a stepmother’s reverse-Cinderella story.  
   
  From a Booker Prize nominee whose work has been acclaimed for “extraordinary wit and insight” (The Baltimore Sun), The Spa is a darkly funny sketch of a group of women who, despite facing prejudice, imprisonment, domestic catastrophes, and romantic debacles, have risen to the top of their respective worlds. 
   
  “Eminently readable.”—Financial Times
