Volume-Two of "Subcontinent Sirens" brings us another two European misadventures at the hands and feet of calculating and irresistible females from the East.
We open with "Revisiting the Inferior", Kurt Steiner's classic tale of psycho-sexual manipulation as a young Indian housekeeper, recently arrived in England leads her smug and self-important employer and failing writer into a growingly addictive domestic and physical dependency... A dependency and growing obsession from which it is her intention he never escapes!
Following this is Shruti Jalav's "A Very English Chattel", as yet another young housekeeper - this time on the Indian Subcontinent itself - takes advantage of the "inexplicable" attraction to her felt by the recently divorced English professor visiting her country to teach at the nearby university... An "inexplicable" attraction the younger woman is determined to use to its FULLEST advantage.
Believable female-led fiction for those readers who prefer their literary fantasies character-driven.
