A review by mollyinwonderland
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

4.0

Reading 'Delta of Venus' gave me a wonderful perspective of the evolution of women's sexuality in recent decades. The emotions, thoughts and feelings of the women that were recounted in this book were so incredibly relatable and timeless standing in direct contrast of the relationships and circumstances that they suffered. This novel paints a semi-perfect universal love - where all human relationships exist on a level where people embrace and energize each other rather than hate and judge. Nin just so happens to imagine this utopian world as a sexual one and she writes about it movingly and passionately.
