Community of Women

Four wanting wantons ...each waiting for a fifth to play bedroom bridge. Roz wanted her husband. Elly wanted anybody’s husband. Nan wanted an encore to seduction. Maggie wanted taboo caresses. Quietville, it might have been called. A place for kids to grow up on sunlit lawns and backyard swimming pools. Anybody’s Eden. But no place for a woman — any woman past the age of puberty, that is... Yet this suburban paradise was a whole community of such women. For each morning every eligible man left for the city — leaving loneliness, frustration and unfulfilled hungers in his wake. It was inevitable that the wives left behind would get themselves into trouble. Roz Barclay, for instance, held out for a while by a peculiar method... until the flames trapped within her erupted like a volcano. Elly Carr sweetened her daybed with the deliveryman. Nan Haskell arranged to be ravished. And Maggie Whitcomb waited patiently for neighboring housewives to give up on their men — and share the unnatural desires her own husband rejected!
