Deirdre, the Temptress: Last Landfall; Part TWO

De: Jonnie Comet

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Deirdre washes ashore in an idyllic land and enthusiastically enters a discreet and discerning society. But the surrealism is more than skin-deep. Relying upon all her interpersonal skills, as well as elements of her childhood she has been eager to neglect, the indefatigable teenaged heroine must survive in the face of others’ prejudice, mistrust and unspoken desperation to ruin or rely upon her… realising her own sinful nature as well as the very best of her own character.

Volume 6: Deirdre, the Temptress; Third, ‘Ormond Beach’ edition, revised 2025 - Part One
In Books 46-48 from the complete novel, Deirdre contends with others’ disapproval, experiments in educational theory and, in a fit of frustration, flouts several fundamental policies of the commune. But it’s meeting by chance with an almost-innocent bystander– or two– that may transform her life on the lam— as she has come to know it.

'It is nought but the fear of woman's heart,
And a dream of the night, Deirdre.'

A journey through morality

This is the second part of the novel. The story is of the girl’s ethical & moral transgressions in a Christian naturist commune as she breaks too many rules and has to leave. She hoes through hypocrisy, dishonesty, immorality, but maintains her love for her peers, the adults, and the small children in more godly ways than the other so-called Christians do. The ending is poignant and touching.
