(The author is Nikki Gemmell.) Although the book is pitched as a no-holds-barred intimate journal of a woman coming into an awareness of her sexuality, not much is fully laid bare here. There is hardly anything enlightening regarding the complexities of the female body or the intricacies of the female mind. This is neither a diary nor a novel. Its an amalgam of female gripes, frustrations, and obsessions that one is likely to encounter as filler content in womens magazines and self-help books.The best second person narrative I have read, ever! This is languid and beautiful and biting, tragic and edge of your seat. I started the book and within the first chapter I was committed. The litany on loop in my head? "This can't end well." It is the story of a woman's search for herself. Discovering and then re-discovering identity in the face of and in reaction to other people's expectations. What is, perhaps, even more horrifying is her own complicity in the architecture of her life. She is
I know theres a lot of controversy around this book. Firstly, let me just say this book is not about sex, it is about sexuality. It is not about the act; but instead, the thoughts behind it. Yes, this book contains explicit scenes but unlike most general fiction novels (cough, The Bronze Horseman, cough), we are given snippets of boldness to accommodate a softer understanding. I suppose it just has discourse, I suppose its something close to literature. As a reader I felt encouraged to view
Originally published in 2003 under the author anonymous, The Bride Stripped Bare is an erotically charged tale about a married womans sexual awakening. Written in diary form as a series of lessons numbered from one to 138, it tells the story of a young woman who has never felt sexually fulfilled in her marriage and then acts, somewhat foolishly it has to be said, on her impulse to take a lover.Her relationship with Gabriel, a handsome older man who turns out to be a virgin, gives her the chance

I should say, I skimmed the sex scenes. Why? Not my usual reason. The bride was just so alien to me - a woman who married her husband because she could be herself fakes her orgasms? I just didn't grasp the idea of a woman who lets her husband wipe his cum on her face, but doesn't mention any of the dissatisfaction she feels with him to him. It was akin to listening to a dead fish that no one notices it doesn't flop any more. She was unsympathetic from the get-go, because she was supposedly
This was the first book with any type of erotica theme that I'd ever read. I remember being absolutely scattered as I followed this woman's journey of her seeking something that was just so simply destructive. She was an effervescent woman looking for something more, that elusive high that kept the bar being raised so much after every encounter. Too dangerous as it cannot have a never ending satisfactory and successful 'high'. It will all fall down, and she will have to pick herself up. This
