One hundred strokes of the brush before bed

[lou33]

Am about half way through this, has anyone else read it? It's VERY racy, but I am finding it really sad as well, because the girl in question is only 15 seems so unhappy.

didn't realise it had been publised yet - it is meant to be based on true events very sad if so

I got it from the library yesterday.

will have to check out ours then

Finally got round to finishing it today. Oh my lord it had me blushing (and trying to keep the pages hidden as I was reading on a train!). But it had a nice ending. Hide it from the kids.

So this is where you get all your ideas for the word association is it Lou?!

Oh no, I've always been like it

I just want to know when you get time to read Lou??? Have had The Blind Assassin sat next to my bed for months...

lou, where on earth do yoy find the time to read?!!!

I was reading on the train to london today. It's only a small book and I am a fast reader.

That's what i looked like when I was reading it. I needed a fan.

Me thinks I must get a copy of this book . Should I suggest it for our book club's next read or would we just find it too to discuss?

meant to say my book club as in my rl friends and not Mumsnet!!

What's it about?

It's about a young italian girl who has lots of sex in lots of different ways because she thinks she cant fall in love. So she agrees to all sorts of awful situations becasue she doesnt feel worthy enough about hersef, until she finds someone who cares about her for herself, and not what she can do to them.

sorry. i asked a question that you had already answered. thatll teach me not to skip through threads, and read them properly form now on.

tut tut np

is it a true story? that always makes me look at books in a different sort of light

Would you recommend it? Am looking for a new book to get my teeth into.

it is true, apparently.

It's not a v big book though. I could have read it in an afternoon.
