Looking for the title of a book and film I saw 20 or 25 years ago?
A good looking guy marries a frumpy fatish rich woman for her money and business and on their honeymoon he takes her out in a boat hits her and throws her over the side of the boat hoping she would be eaten by the chrocadiles, unbeknown to him she survives and makes it to the shore where some man finds her and takes her to his shak and looks after her. She then realises what her husband has done and to get revenge she sets about changing her looks, she diets and exercises changes her hair etc and goes to the city to get her money and company back and to expose her husband for her attempted murder.
