Three works on the subject of the controlling female open with the tale of a faithless husband whose embezzling from a company and gambling debts to a Chinese gangster compel him to accept a lifelong indenture to the Indian woman who had once been his employer.
The second tale tells of a dissatisfied wife, who, with the help of her widowed subcontinent friend and neighbour, transforms her husband into both a servant and an adolescent.
Our closing work tells of a divorced and unemployed man who sees a lifeline in an advert for a live-in handyman. Unable to know that the Indian widow doing the advertising intends the position to be permanent — and humbling — for the right applicant!
Female-led fiction for the connoisseur of dominant women and the literature describing them.
