Puffball

Fay Weldon's Puffball is a darkly bewitching tale of fertility, folklore, and feminine power set in the Somerset countryside. When Liffey moves to a remote cottage, pregnancy and ancient forces collide in ways both unsettling and primal. Weldon weaves body horror with folk magic, creating something utterly unique—earthy, strange, and impossible to look away from. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric fiction with a witchy, visceral edge.
