Muskając aksamit

by: Sarah Waters (author)

3.00 5

Muskając aksamit to historia o poszukiwaniu miłości, szczęścia i tożsamości, również seksualnej. Ma ono wymiar uniwersalny: po drodze Nancy dozna wielu upokorzeń, straci niewinność, lecz zyska wgląd do własnej duszy oraz świadomość swoich potrzeb i pragnień, co pozwoli jej wreszcie odnaleźć szczęście. Jest to również wspaniała powieść historyczna autorka drobiazgowo przedstawia społeczne tło epoki oraz mentalność ludzi, których przysłowiowa wręcz pruderia nie raz skrywała perwersyjne skłonności.

text The end makes it all worthwhile.

Sometimes I get the urge to revisit Nancy and Florence. Every re-read is the same: I dread the middle portion of the book but enjoy the first part and love the final part enough to keep going. I don't know why I can't just give myself permission to skip to the parts I want, but I can't.

Wow. Okay. This book was a hell of a roller-coaster for me. It starts out pretty much exactly how I expected. Something sweet, something innocent and naive, before falling down a really long flight of Sin Stairs, very quickly. I'm not unaccustomed to books leaving me reeling after I'd finished rea...

A friend once told me she doesn't like historical lesfic because the sex is so underwhelming and I agree. Until I read this book. ;) An amazon reviewer calls it 'Victorian porn'--sounds like an oxymoron, doesnt it? Unabashed eroticism in a period of prudishness and high morality. In the context of...
