Sinopsis

In "Kathleen," Christopher Morley weaves a richly textured narrative that captures the complexities of early 20th-century life, particularly the tug between individual aspiration and societal expectation. The novel unfolds through the lens of Kathleen, a young woman navigating the maze of love, ambition, and the constraints imposed by her surroundings. Morley employs a charmingly conversational prose style, infused with wit and warmth, making every character's journey feel both personal and universally relatable. Set against the backdrop of a post-World War I America, the book reflects the transitional zeitgeist, exploring themes of self-discovery and the struggle for autonomy amidst a shifting cultural landscape. Christopher Morley, an influential literary figure, was not only a novelist but also a poet, essayist, and playwright. His deep-seated love for literature and the printed word is palpably evident in "Kathleen," inspired by his own experiences and observations of life in bustling urban centers. Morley was also known for his keen insights into the American psyche, often infusing his works with humor while simultaneously tackling serious themes. Growing up in an era laden with social change undoubtedly informed his portrayal of the evolving role of women in society. I highly recommend "Kathleen" to readers seeking a captivating exploration of identity and ambition through the eyes of a brilliantly crafted protagonist. Fans of character-driven narratives and those interested in the intersection of personal dreams with societal norms will find a kindred spirit in Kathleen. Morley's adept storytelling and incisive commentary on human nature make this work an essential read for both literary enthusiasts and casual readers alike.

    What you don’t know, won’t hurt you…right? 
    In a hasty twist of fate, young city-dwellers Owen and Fiona become roommates. What seems like a perfect stroke of luck at first, quickly turns into a fiery dynamic between the two, neither able to tolerate the other. Even still, they’re stuck together…and for a while. 
    But maybe fate isn’t quite done with them yet. 
    What neither of them know about the other, is that they share some common interests you don’t really talk about on a tour of a new apartment with a future roommate. And those common interests are about to start revealing themselves in ways Owen and Fiona could have never predicted. 
      
    This is a Duet Femdom story. What does that mean? The story is told twice – once from the perspective of the male sub written and narrated by Reluctant Man, and once from the perspective of the Domme written and narrated by Logan Love. This special edition lets you hear both sides of the story. Each is a complete 5000+ word short story, but here they are put together in a single volume at almost 11k words.
