STORY DESCRIPTION

It is1955, and attractive widow Isobel Forbes and her daughter Lorna are holidaying in Kabesh, the capital of Barbouria on the North West coast of Africa. But in attempting to evade the polite but persistent attentions of a man called Hassan al Rashid, they grossly offend local customs and are arrested. They soon discover how few rights unaccompanied women have in Barbouria. It might not be how such matters would be handled in England, but the law is the law and they must obey it. At the command of Captain Velasquez of the Kabesh police, they are stripped naked, collared, cuffed, yoked and intimately used, all perfectly legally, for the pleasure of local men. But they must still do penance for their crimes. Put into a grim prison they are at the mercy of quirt-carrying guards and a sadistic warden. Serving as slave labourers on a public building site they are chained naked to wheelbarrows and locked into cruelly teasing chastity belts. Finally, they are sent to the exclusive Glass Harem far out into the desert. Here they are controlled by black lesbian mistresses, kept in glass cells and displayed in a huge aquarium tank filled with “girlfish”. From here they are chosen by guests to serve them in the Harem’s pleasure rooms and gardens and take part in domination games and ordeals of sexual endurance. To their dismay and confusion, Isobel and Lorna begin to respond with passion their harsh treatment. Their only chance of escape may lie in total submission to Hassan al Rashid: the very man they were trying to escape when their ordeal began! But perhaps Rashid is not as bad as they first thought. After all, he is cultured and wealthy. Is it possible that in his service, they might even find happiness and contentment in this strange foreign land?
