Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland

4.0

---

Love this as an anti-Pamela response, very creative use of innuendo and euphemism to be as pornographic as possible without being explicit. Although there was some interesting exploration of women's pleasure and the b.s. of virginity/"virtue", I still found the narrative lens insidiously voyeuristic. Surprisingly (or maybe not!) I saw lots of links between this and Zola's 'Nana' which I read recently.
