The Life And Loves of a She Devil
“She does not think it’s so easy now. The stars wheel and the tides surge and the salt spray beats upon the thick plate-glass, but Mary Fisher’s eyes are turned inward; she no longer delights in these things. She could live in Nightbird Drive, or anywhere, for all she notices the glory of nature.
Mary Fisher lives in the High Tower with two children and an angry mother and a distracted lover and a sulky manservant. She feels they devour her living flesh. These days champagne gives Mary Fisher ac...id indigestion because she can no longer savour each sip, but has to gulp it down before meeting the next domestic emergency.
Smoked salmon is too salty for Bobbo, whose blood pressure is slightly raised, and although Mary Fisher explains that smoked salmon is not in fact a food with high salt levels he will not believe her, and does not like to see her eating what he does not. Tuna sandwiches are frequently served, here as anywhere.
Mary Fisher looks at love and sees that it is complicated. For one thing, she is held in sexual thrall by Bobbo, as indeed quite often the heroine’s best friend is held by the hero at the beginning of one of Mary Fisher’s books, before a purer, more spiritual love strikes the hero and heroine, and best friend gets ditched or run over, like Anna Karenina, or obliged to munch arsenic, like Madame Bovary.MoreLess
