Alice knows. What we are witnessing in the foundation of the Holy Family 
Traverse in which Yashmeen is to become the mother of the baby Jes . . . 
.  And a good deal of purple prose is necessary get this across, make it 
sufficiently portentous.  Cyprian's alarm at seeing Yashmeen's face 
during sex (hers) with Reef. Then when she discover she's with child and 
that nothing will ever be the same. Very over the top writing. And it's 
an Idyll--things drift smoothly along for the trio-- a pastoral scene, 
in almost idealized terms, like nothing bad can ever happen. It's kind 
of layered, in other words.

And that's only the beginning. The subjection of women idea is 
inescapable. Yashmeen had had a brilliant career ahead of her. She was a 
contender. And last, there's the subjection of men. The idea that when 
the right women comes along, the guys will fall into line. Get all domestic.
