The New Breadmakers (2014)
“Years had passed since Melvin had been able to make love to her. He had become impotent. She remembered the last time he’d tried.
‘I’ve gone right off you,’ he’d said, before turning away from her. She had believed him at first. She had been conditioned for years, long before she’d met him, to believe that she was at fault, wicked, a target for God’s wrath. A target not only on the day of judgement but here on earth. Retribution and punishment would be her lot. Her mother had promised all this.... Her mother had always been God’s right-hand man – or, rather, woman.
For some time afterwards, he’d tried to make her do revolting things for him to watch. At least she’d had enough courage to refuse to have anything to do with this perversion. Then he kept telling her filthy jokes that degraded women. She’d eventually managed to stop him doing that as well, mostly by just getting up and walking away. She knew it was all because of his own sexual inadequacy.
