Perfect 10 — Vivien Jones

Everywhere there are big girls and big women. Their strategies for survival can be inspired, funny or desperate but survive they do. Meet Monica, fond of sex and food, Carol who finds her own special way to self-esteem and Veronica who sheds more than weight when she loses four stones. There's Trish and Jeannie, both in school uniform for very different reasons and Sandy, ashamed of her large mother, convinced that she is fated to become a perfect replica.
In this collection of stories Vivien Jones celebrates their inventiveness, acknowledges their sadness and challenges the tendency to judge people by their appearances.
