Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland
3.0
Ha, I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book. I randomly picked it out because I was looking for an eighteenth century novel to read. Low and behold, it was a little bit of smut.
I rather enjoyed the story, it was fun to read a story about a woman pursuing her pleasure and not dying at the end but there is no doubt that it got a little tiring to read about all the wonderful lovers and their significant members, along with all the maidenly woman of pleasure. Pages of description with no action rather dulled the story, and I'm never going to hear the word vermilion again without thinking of this book.
