Meet the new residents of Eros Crescent, Roger and Caroline, and Maude and Rosa's network of women friends and lovers young and old, all of whom she is happy to share both with her husband Bertie, and with each other.Rosa maintains that the kiss is the most important part of sensuality, alongside anticipation, and that there should always be loving intent when expressing ones affections.After a year in Positano on the Amalfi coast, Roger left Italy and returned to London. He had completed the novel and stayed long enough to fulfil his publisher's requests for small changes to the manuscript and to enjoy for the last time the pleasures afforded him by the many artists and writers and others whom he had met and, of course, the beautiful landscape.Roger would miss it, but he now looked forward to having a few months in England. Roger's stepsister had offered him a room with her and her partner in South London for a period of three months, after which they would rent out the apartment and move to Australia. Both were highly qualified and had well-paid jobs at home and abroad.Jackie would of course interrogate him about his personal life as she always did. At thirty-three and five years his junior, she could not understand how it was that at six-feet tall and with such good looks and possibly "even a little intelligence" that he could possibly still be single."There are so many beautiful women around who would willingly waste themselves on a man like you, Roger," she would say teasingly as her partner Miranda looked on, enjoying the banter. Miranda rarely had the opportunity to see Jackie's side of the family, and considered Roger to be the only member."Okay, okay!" Roger would reply, trying to defend himself. "There is just too much to do Jack. I can't fit everything in.""You can't fit everything in? My god, if the glimpses I've had of your life style in the past is any guide, dear brother, I have a good idea how many women you manage to 'fit in'. What is wrong with you, that not one of them chooses to hold you down in the bed long enough to become part of the furniture?"And what about us? How long do we have to wait to become aunts. Miranda and I are planning to start a family the year after next and that will give you 'uncle' status. I don't want our kids to have an 'old rake' for an uncle with some poor young bimbo wearing a Mother Santa miniskirt, balancing on six inch heels and hanging onto his arm, arriving for a family Christmas dinner."Rosa, the important older woman from volume one, The Fifi Code, is now fit and well and back from hospital ready and willing. She seduces both the young Jessica and her aunt Edith at Maude's house warming party, changing both their lives forever.Janice from The Fifi Code is here again and searching out another sensual experience, something she is very good at.Helen is back along with her lover, Celia Ashbee and Celia's beautiful young maid Polly.Polly meets Helen's other young lover, Sophie and introduces her to her horse riding friend Belinda.Eros Crescent is the second volume of the Eros Crescent Trilogy. Volume one entitled The Fifi Code is available along with volume three, Mount Eros.Please leave a review of any of our books. It would be much appreciated.

There remains a wide variety of evidence for the production and consumption of tin and lead alloy tableware in Roman Britain. In this book it is the categorisation of Romano-British tin and lead alloy tableware, as well as vessel production moulds, manufacturing debris and compositional data for pewter vessels that forms the study's foundation. Yet it is the main purpose of this book to place this data in a wider social, economic and chronological context. In particular two powerful theoretical perspectives - that social identities could be constructed through the consumption of 'objects', and that such identities can be recorded in an object's depositional context - have informed this research. The main result of this study is that pewter tableware, although a 'Romanized' material, could create and maintain a range of different social identities. Functionally different vessels, for example, can be taken as indicators of different 'lifestyle' choices, the comparative values of which shifted over time. However, these identities could also be re-negotiated over time to suit a number of 'atypical' personal choices, such as the reuse of high status vessels in ritual or low status roles. Another key result is that pewter consumption was also constrained by a comparative absence of tin in Britain before the 3rd century. Limited pre-3rd century pewter production can be suggested as occurring predominantly where there was easy access to imported tin. However, post 3rd century production, although most prolific in regions that had direct access to Cornish tin, could also exist in central and eastern England where they were fuelled by recycled tin, the extent of which is starting to be addressed through compositional analysis of Romano-British pewter. These findings, and the data they are built on, should both contribute to research on Romano-British pewter, and more generally provide new approaches to understand Roman material culture in Britain.
