The Bride Stripped Bare by Anon

[spacemonkey]

This book was heartily recommended to me by a friend this week so I've ordered it.

Anyone read it?

Sounds fascinating! What is it? Fiction/Non Fiction/Instruction Manual?

see here discordia

sounds good!

Australian writer BTW and she isn't anon anymore and is quite annoyed that her name got out Nikki Gemmel I think. I think she was trying to be anon to spare her family and friends - too late now ...

Ooer!

oh good good good, i saw it in bookshop, meant to buy it, but was in frugal phase so didn't, then forgot title and couldn't find it! huzzah sm, i'll be able to buy it now (check your email btw)

Will my husband be worried if I buy it?

do you want him to be worried JJ?

no.

I was lent it by a friend - she did not like it much. I tried to read it but found I did not get into it at all and only read about 2 chapters before giving it back to her.

I have just finnished reading it. It took a while to get into, but I did enjoy it in the end. Have lent it to my S-in-L now for her opinion. I recommend it.

I am half way through this book, but I just seemed to lose interest in it. I am going on a plane in two weeks, so I'll take it with me.....hopefully finish it

fingers crossed!!!

I read it in about 3 days - pretty saucy in places

Very saucy in places!

broom handles

flutters flan......

What??

I thought it advocated infidelity, hence my reluctance. But now it's sounding really interesting.

JJ - wasn't the overall impression i got from reading it thru to the end

JJ, saucy bits a-plenty, but I found it a very interesting and quite sad read. Sort of Maggie Farrell with rude bits. I'd recommend it too, I think the impetus for Nikki Gemmell writing it was an intriguing one (the edition I got recently from Amazon included the story of how her cover was blown etc).

I was just about to post and recommend this book. I have just finished reading it, and was quite struck by it. I felt quite disturbed by the ending tho'

oh....my....god...i love this book...it's the reason i'm going to bed now...to finish it (i bought it yesterday...)

amazing...

sophable, read 100 strokes of the brush before bed , as well.

will do lou...thanks for rec
