The Triple Goddess: OPHELIA: a simply divine comedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781471013003)

THE TRIPLE GODDESS is a novel, in three parts, about an obsession with the idea of one woman-- presented in a context of Fairy Tale; each part 'starring' a different woman, who is the same person: the Triple Goddess of classical mythology made flesh. Three mysterious drop-dead gorgeous females, whose original was lost to reality... like Orpheus's Eurydice, or Dante's Beatrice... but not lost to the imagination; which is what keeps her alive upon the page, for whomever wishes to possess her. Part One, OPHELIA, is Arcadian fantasy, a battle against evil in an English village; Part Two, ARBELLA, is historical fiction, the past rediscovered in the present; Part Three, GLORIA, is science fiction, a terrifying vision of the future, as the end of the world approaches. Ophelia Blondi-Tremolo is the fey curate of a Sussex village, which is invaded by a washed-up Devil Lady, 'the DL', who has been forced out of Belgravia, by younger ambitious competitors. Setting herself up as the Lady of the Manor, the Devil Lady moves into the Old Rectory, with her demon manservant, and appoints the black-hearted, scurrilous, foul-living Reverend Fletcher Abraham Dark, as her Parish Priest. Ophelia's ebullient female partner, Effie, and the many ghosts of the parish who are so attached to Ophelia, that they find it impossible to go to the Light, take arms against the DL. Another powerful representative of the infernal regions arrives, the glamorous Lady Violet Enderby, who occupies, as her estate, the Moated Grange, a place accessible only by chauffeured airborne Jaguar motorcar....
