This book is a captivating and informative story from the mind of someone who must have been considered weird and possibly even immoral in the time that it was written. It was apparently banned in the 60s because of the subject matter of sex for pleasure and for love. It was way ahead of its time in the feminist undertones and obvious disgust for capitalism and classism in the main character’s words and behaviors as well as the overall tone of the book. On top of all of that, it’s also a beautiful love story in a world of arranged marriages and marriages born from duty and expectation.
