Duo-Two in the "Duos of Reversal" collection contains two tales of fantasy female-led reversals from the past and the present. Read on, as a young widow from the Subcontinent comes into her own for the very first time. .This after the death of a controlling but affluent Anglo/Pakistani husband she had been joined to via an arranged-marriage. A young widow who chose to remain in England, who uses her new-found independence, security and wealth to try and realise the fondest and most enduring dream from her earlier years.
That of being the "Malkin" of her own home. And not only employing but truly RULING over an older and attractive man from her new and adopted country. Next, we go back to1922, where for one wife a life of being second best is about to end. This after her husband returns from a business trip to the East for the company he owns with an illness that has left him with the strength of a child while leaving his faculties intact.
Much good they serve him!... The hapless husband's situation not improved any when his wife takes on a manipulative Polish woman to help with him and she soon makes herself domestically indispensable to the wife and a figure of authority to the demoted husband she is gradually regressing. And with the approval of his emancipated wife! Duo-Two contains: "Serving Ms Shreya" by Malkin Jamali; and "An Evil Awakening" from Estelle Marchant. 2-Believable fictional tales, one of fantasy in the present, the other a tale of regression and marital reversal from early in the last century; both written in the psychological, character-driven and female-led style for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible plotlines.
