Wendy French schreibt humorvolle Frauenliteratur, oft mit Fokus auf weibliche Protagonistinnen. Ihre Werke schöpfen aus einer unerwartet glücklichen und stabilen Kindheit, die sie humorvoll als Hindernis für künstlerische Qualen betrachtet. Dieser einzigartige Ansatz, Inspiration in scheinbar gewöhnlichen Lebensumständen zu finden, führt zu frischen und unterhaltsamen Erzählungen.
French delivers a smart, fast, funny take on mother-daughter relationships, boyfriend-girlfriend disasters, and the career girl blues. "Enjoyable . . . poignant . . . the emotions ring true."--"Entertainment Weekly."
Born in the NHS was conceived when Wendy French and Jane Kirwan were talking about their experiences working in the health service, and being brought up in medical families. People are only gradually becoming aware of the damage that will be done by privatising the NHS so they decided to put their personal account on record and monitor the government's plans. They've included poetry, prose, memoir and facts. It isn't a polemic about the NHS but an impressionistic account using aspects that have touched their experience.
