The Bride Stripped Bare
Author: Nikki Gemmell
A series of diary entries charts the sinuous paths of marriage and sexual desire in this artful book, a bestseller in the U.K. The author of the entries, a nameless 30-something housewife, has disappeared, leaving behind what amounts to 138 "lessons," written in the second-person, for her fellow archetypal "good wives."

Hauntingly written beautiful story. The main character, who remains unnamed throughout the novel, speaks candidly and openly about being an unfulfilled wife and a "teacher" of sorts to her new lover. The ending is so abrupt that it will leave you dying to know what happened.

Unique, for certain - it took me a little while to get used to the writing style.
The story is very honest and raw, sexually explicit (obviously), sad.
Not exactly a feel-good kind of book but it's definitely interesting...and will likely strike a chord with many married women.

This is a book that started off a bit difficult. However, it didn't take long to 'feel' the character and to start understanding where she was coming from.

This is a book where some will just read it and think "ok", but this is also a book where someone will read it and think "wow...this is, or could be, me".

A private journal approach to a woman's seduction. Some of it sweet, some of it dangerous. A more literary take on erotica.
