Fiction-2, in a series of short female-led tales from the pen of Xavier Couperin, brings us the story of an instant and overpowering attraction that leads a man down a highway of life he would never have believed himself capable of taking. A highway he takes in the company of an Eastern European widow woman who absolutely insists on doing the driving. Fiction-2 in the series is: “Overmastered”. Mr Couperin is the writer of a number of female-led titles on the subject of the assertive woman throughout life in general, and the marital dynamic and the power-struggles that turn it upon its head in-particular.
