The final part of Madame Fabia's triptych describing the fall from proud and loving partner in a seemingly solid marriage to despairing, jobless, and soon to be homeless victim, ends with Robert Felgate's acceptance of Fernanda Caesar's offer to him and his slide into domestic and personal service in her home. A slide that isn't halted by the return of the wife who deserted him from her new man's home in the South of France and is made worse by the legal advice of Fernanda's solicitor and friend, Simone. Not only made worse but inescapable when Robert - now: "Robbie" - discovers something deep and unsuspected inside him responding to the domination of both ebony Brazilian neighbour and her English legal eagle friend. Illustrated and believable fantasy fiction for the connoisseur of female-led fiction.
