Valentina and Isabella meet while stuck in the middle of nowhere during a winter storm. Their friendship develops into romance. However, neither likes housework, so they need a flatmate willing to keep their apartment tidy. By chance, they meet a young man who is looking for somewhere to stay. Both women decide to give the young man a trial, providing he accepts some strict, and unusual rules to ensure he knows whose house he is keeping clean.
A story in the Religious Revelations Universe
An old journal written by a missionary in the Mid-Pacific reveals a very different and interesting island culture. He found a matriarchal (compassionate), polyandric, and pantheistic culture that had some better answers than he got from the Bible. That led to becoming an amateur sociologist. This writing is adapted from his 19th century journal.
