Duos of Reversal. Duos of Reversal, #4

Duo-Four in the "Duos of Reversal" collection contains another two tales of fantasy female-led reversals from the past and the present. Read on, as an ambitious former golden-boy from a dirt-poor Russian village attempts to find his fortune in Moscow at the turn of the 20th-century. To find failure and hard-times awaiting him. Before, at his lowest ebb; homeless, hungry, and penniless; he visits a salaried friend in the employ of a late-merchant's widow.
And finds his true calling. A calling that insists he remains in the home of the young widow who, it turns out, is a woman from his old village. A young widow with an opening for a servile and attentive retainer! A faithless and divorced English writer, his best and most lucrative work behind him - living in Cornwall after an acrimonious divorce in the home left to him upon the death of a reclusive old aunt - has his life and position turned upon its head by the young Indian woman he had employed from a local agency as cheap labour to be his live-in housekeeper.
A young Indian housekeeper who sees the delusion and need behind her employer's manly and pompous façade. And uses the knowledge to his detriment and her own LASTING advantage!. Duo-Four contains: "The Servant Revisited" by Sandrine Bessancort; "The Inferior Revisited" from Kurt Steiner. 2-Believable fictional tales, one of obsession and hard-choices from the past, the other a tale of fixation and regime change in the present; both written in the psychological and female-led style for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible and character-driven plotlines.
