Tabou

What Drives Her Crazy

by Suzanne Stroh

 

Tomorrow and Wednesday, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on two pivotal cases affecting gay marriage. How do you think it will go?

UnknownValerie Drummond, the seventy-three year-old Anglo-Irish countess living in New York, had an opinion on that back in 1993.

“Like those dreaded dinner party words ‘Longtime Companion’ or ‘Partner,’” she commented to her granddaughter.

“Sometimes I just want to scream, ‘is she your wife or is she your mistress? Please clarify the nature of your bloody relationship!’”

Hope you’re enjoying Tabou. This excerpt is from Book Three, Sylvie.
