Two books of involving misadventures in the worl of the female-led open with, “The Terms of Her Will”, Laurence Byrne-Claybourne’s tale of a womanising petrified adolescent in his forties whose deceased Isle of Mull based aunt is determined to reach out from the grave to ensure he become something useful to society… Even if his aunt’s definition of what is useful will prove more pleasing to his deceased relative’s young Polish housekeeper and the fiftysomething female solicitor his behaviour must satisfy if he is to receive the benefits of his aunt’s estate at the end of his residency… Domestic hoops, though he is not to know it, that will soon be more than simply domestic and will ensure a very different man emerges at the end of those five years. Our second tale is Sydne Albright’s classic of contemporary femdom, “Venus in Norfolk”, and her tale of what occurs when two friends are reunited in Norfolk on the UK’s East-Coast. Reunion brought about by the divorce of one of them from her Massachusetts based husband... A divorced friend who is about to find her former university roommate and fellow fantasist has skeletons of her own in the closet…. Or, more to the point, in her basement… A skeleton who is not only very much alive but exceptionally obedient! Two works of believable human-bondage for the connoisseur of the dominant and implacable female.
