I couldn't read this in one go (erotica overload!) and the chapters lent for easy reading over a long time.I realize now why Anais Nin is so esteemed. Her prose lends much beauty and sensitivity to human sexuality. (  ) screamingbanshee | Oct 1, 2009 |  After having read Little Birds I expected something even better. I would say it's a comparable read. Based om todays standards it's on the milder spectrum of erotica. As with any short story collection I found some stories much more enjoyable than others. Her use of the term "sex" for the most intimate female part and sometimes male part becomes annoying or even laughable. If you are new to the erotic genre then you would enjoy this book. (  ) realbigcat | Sep 21, 2009 | Not good zasmine | Jul 11, 2009 | The best erotic fiction I've ever read. (  ) anna_battista | May 9, 2009 | languid, sensual, not overly erotic, but enough. this actually makes me want to get into anne rice, whom i've never read - as her work seems like it would be kinda sexy (  ) lonake | Mar 20, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
