tried to give it a chance but I just can't handle it. I likd the backstory of this more than the actual thing. I don't think it's the author herself just the content (see warnings). I think I'll try another one of her books though because the little preface from her diary was quite interesting

I can appreciate what Anaïs Nin did for erotica but there is content in here that makes it hard to stomach the rest.

"I believe in saying it. There are enough mysteries, and these do not help our enjoyment of each other."

When I read the blurb I expected more female exploration around sexuality. Trigger warnings: paedophilia, sexual assault were explicit in just the first three stories. Not what I was expecting and not comfortable to read. I stopped after the first three stories.
