The Cloning of Joanna May

Fay Weldon. Penguin Books, $9 (272pp) ISBN 978-0-14-012851-2

Joanna, a beautiful and bored 60-year-old, discovers that her ex-husband cloned one of her eggs 30 years earlier and that the four resulting clones are currently undergoing crises brought on by men. ``With characteristic antic energy, Weldon offers another penetrating look at our urges to sex and parenthood, love, power and revenge,'' said PW.
