The Servant Revisited (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Wandering the streets of Moscow at the beginning of the twentieth-century, Gerasim Poliakoff, the one-time "Golden Boy" of a small and dirt-poor Russian village, looks in vain for employment during a period of social upheaval and economic hardship sweeping the country.

Having all but exhausted the generosity and hospitality of friends, hungry to the point of desperation and without a roof to cover his head, he walks to see a gainfully employed friend in a small town at the edge of the city and prays that friend may be able to do something for him.

A prayer his friend grudgingly answers when he introduces Gerasim to the recently widowed young woman who is now his employer and seeks domestic help.

A young woman with startling looks - and an even more disturbing mindset - Gerasim soon realises hails from the same dirt-poor village as himself.

And appears delighted to have the struggling former "Golden Boy" before her as a supplicant as she makes him a strange and disquieting offer...

Believable dark romance and female-led fiction, inspired by the classic Russian fiction of the nineteenth and early-twentieth-century, for those with a passion for tales from earlier periods offering a different perspective to the morality, expectations, and social mores of the present.

Sandrine Bessancort is the pen-name of a French-born and Honfleur based legal-professional with a passion for the re-imagining of antique tales with a female-led slant that include: "The Parasite Revisited" and the "A Scandal in Bohemia... and Worse!".
