"The Life and Loves of a She-Devil" is a 1983 novel by British feminist author Fay Weldon about a plain woman who, when she finds out she is being betrayed by her husband, goes to great lengths to take revenge on him and his lover, romantic novelist Mary Fisher. The book, Weldon insists, is about envy, rather than revenge.
The novel was filmed twice: in 1986 as an award-winning BBC television serial, starring Patricia Hodge as Mary Fisher, Dennis Waterman as Bobbo and Julie T. Wallace as the she-devil, and, less faithfully, by Hollywood in 1989 as "She-Devil", starring Roseanne Barr as the "she-devil" and Meryl Streep as her adversary, Mary Fisher.
The BBC adaptation was filmed largely at the Belle Tout lighthouse at Beachy Head, which has since been moved several meters from the cliff edge, due to the alarming rate of coastal erosion in the area.
Paperback editions of the novel were issued in 1993 by Ballantine Books, New York ( ISBN 0-345-32375-0 ) and by Sceptre, London ( ISBN 0-340-58935-3 ).
