This fiction was enjoyable for about 2/3 of the book, then it bogged down with the protagonist acting like a drama queen that has more money than she deserves. She only became wealthy in the last third of the book, so perhaps this is a message from the author. A lot of the characters are hysterical with each other and others and it becomes frustrating, as you want to slap them and say"calm down."

A young woman is the product of a great love between a man and a woman who regard her as an intruder into their personal paradise. She spends the years she lives in this book angry that she can't be loved like her mother was loved by her father. She tries to keep her lovers enthralled to her with sex, and it never lasts. Duh. Half a point for setting, beginning in a small town in Sicily and ending in Sydney.

A super book! This work explores the relationship between pornography and vivisection. Feminism is something that pisses some men (those who are trying to make up for a lack in their physiology) off so much that they will hang on to animal torture as the "legal" way to get their rocks off. It makes sense that that is probably a reason that animal rights activists have such a hard time making any leeway in animal welfare.

There is a plethora of resources used in the making of this book that delighted me in the aspect of further reading.
