She is a woman who started her life with fire and promise; and who found herself in her kitchen talking to the walls. Not because she is mad; but because her life is loveless; predicatable and dry. Until her friend takes her to Greece and her life changes; in many ways.This is an absolutely delightful story. We can all identify with Shirley and her need to have a life with a little more meaning; and we can all cheer her as she goes about getting it. This is a poignant; sad and funny story; and it is a modern classic.20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. For All Women; And Men Who Want To Understand ThemBy Sally Atman (ksoze@mindspring.com)Shirley Valentine has become a hero to tens of thousands of women whove studied her character and applauded her life choices . . . in drama classes on (at least) two continents. Shirley is commonly uncommon; absolutely candid; and full of a range of emotions from cold fury to childlike giddiness. Anyone who doesnt know and love Shirley; anyone who hasnt made her their friend . . . please read about her!29 of 29 people found the following review helpful. Shirley Valentine - Longman EditionBy A CustomerThis is the SCREENPLAY - not the stage version. Beware! I thought I was ordering the stage play. Its still a nice book though; with lots of notes and background info.
