The smouldering follow-up to the international blockbuster 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed (also available in audio by Bolinda). Melissa P.'s fictionalized memoir, 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed, became an international literary phenomenon, selling over two million copies worldwide and inspiring profiles in Vanity Fair and The New York Times, as well as a warning from the pope. The Scent of Your Breath, the second installment in the Melissa P.'s series of confessions, is a stirring tale of obsessive love and destructive passion. Melissa, desperate for love and willing to do anything to find it, is now a successful writer in Rome, living with her new lover, Thomas. But as soon as she meets Viola, a woman from Thomas's past, sexual passion and insecurity mount in tandem, and Melissa is consumed with jealousy. Written as a confessional letter to her mother, the story that follows is one of dark obsession, violent lust, and soul-destroying talent. Driven by Melissa's singular voice - that unique and compelling combination of impetuous naivete and poetic sophistication that has mesmerized readers in thirty-one countries - The Scent of Your Breath blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy and delves deep into the disturbing yet strangely familiar mind of a teenage girl terrorized by love. "The narrative forms a current of pure feeling, fearless and thrilling." - Publishers Weekly No library descriptions found. |

I didn’t really like this. The first one was very sensual and I really warmed to Melissa. In this one I just found her really self absorbed and annoying. Luckily it was a short book or I would have tossed to aside and not bothered to finish it which is pretty much unheard of behaviour for me. ( )
