Three books, two from Estelle Marchant and another from Hillary Marshall, comprise the first volume of “The Heel at His Throat” collection of female-led anthologies containing three tales of men who find themselves under women. And in ALL ways! We open with Ms Marchant’s “Who is Your Boss”, as she brings us the tale of what happens when the stepmother of a young wife discovers her husband has stepped out of line while at a trade-fair for the company she and that stepdaughter own… What happens next will see the husband’s life turned upside down… Unless, that is, he would prefer to have a life not worth living at all.. Ms Marshall follows with “A Husband’s Demotion”, her tale of domestic indenture and domination as a once happy and masculine husband is brought to his knees - and worse - by his previously loving wife and the conniving and enabling Indian widow who sees him as the perfect... CHATTEL! Ms Marchant completes our triad with “Madam Quadira”, and the story of a devoted husband and father who accepts a contract to project-manage the construction of a residential project on the Gulf. Only to find it is not only a contract he will be unable to see through to a conclusion but will result in him never leaving the region again as a free-man… The wealthy, powerful, sadistic and controlling, Madam Quadira will ensure it! Female-led fiction for lovers of the assertive and, thankfully, fictional woman.
