En savoir plus sur le livre
In 2003, Nikki Gemmell made a significant impact with her anonymous work that candidly explored female sexuality, becoming a bestseller worldwide. Eight years later, she presents another powerful narrative that captures thoughts and feelings often left unexpressed. In her lyrical style, the story delves into the nature of intimacy and the possibility of truly knowing another person. It serves as both a manifesto for married mothers and a deeply personal account of one woman's sexual awakening. A wife and mother, grappling with the realities of middle age and the demands of family life, feels trapped in a monotonous routine of school runs and household chores. Despite her love for her husband, she realizes he has never truly reached her core. Struggling to reclaim her identity amidst familial obligations, she reflects on an unresolved past love affair. This work showcases exquisite literary writing—raw, emotional, and bold—drawing parallels to the classic French erotic literature of Colette, Nin, and Duras, yet infused with a modern and provocative perspective.
