A Spy in the House of Love

OK, time to deal with the backlog of books I've read and haven't posted about.

I need to read more Anaïs Nin (the first book I reviewed here on this blog was the Delta of Venus). Her writing is haunting and poetic, about the breaking of taboos, and the pursuit of freedom, especially sexual freedom, regardless of the costs.

This is another beautifully written, brooding, atmospheric novel, about Sabrina, an actress who seeks to enjoy the liberated sexuality that men around her seem to have, and how she deals with the pleasures and suffering that result. Well worth a read.
