The Revenge Club cover

Four women, sidelined by less qualified men, form The Revenge Club to reclaim their power through clever and humorous schemes.

In The Revenge Club, four accomplished women—Matilda, Jo, Penny, and Cressy—find themselves facing an unexpected challenge. Despite their impressive careers, they begin to experience being overlooked and sidelined by less qualified men in their respective fields. This situation ignites a fierce determination within them; they refuse to accept this injustice quietly. Instead of succumbing to frustration, they decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a secretive group dedicated to plotting their retribution.

As the women band together, they discover the power of solidarity and shared experiences. The Revenge Club becomes a sanctuary where they can voice their grievances and devise clever plans to reclaim their agency. Their antics are both humorous and audacious, showcasing their refusal to let societal norms dictate their worth. With each scheme, they challenge the status quo, proving that age and gender are no barriers to ambition and success.

Kathy Lette crafts a narrative that is both subversive and entertaining, inviting readers to join in the fun. The Revenge Club is not just about getting even; it’s a celebration of female empowerment, friendship, and the joy of standing up for oneself. With sharp wit and relatable characters, this novel resonates with anyone who has ever felt underestimated or sidelined in their personal or professional life.

Like champagne with a pie chaser. Sparkling and surprisingly satisfying -- Penny Smith
As always, she's witty and gritty and surprises at every turn. "Nine to Five" meets the "First Wives Club" in this gripping story of revenge -- Ruby Wax
Kathy Lette's razzle-dazzle charm, humour and versatility sometimes obscure the seriously impressive achievement of this girl from the Shire: For fifty years now, she has articulated - with outrageous candour and an infallibly observant eye - the best and worst bits of being female. The Revenge Club is erotic fan fiction for the peri-menopausal. But amid all the hilarity and blood-Letteing (see what I did there?) there beats a solid reminder that female friendships are the love affairs that never dim. -- Annabel Crabb
