Fantomina is the surprising tale of an unnamed lady who disguises herself as four different women to seduce the same gentleman when his passion diminishes.

Lady, as she is referred to, is a great heroine. She is manipulative, yet also relatable. Through her disguises, she acknowledges the sexual desires of women and unveils the fleeing passion of men "after possession". It is a quick read, but an interesting one, and the ending is very realistic.
