Although Anaïs Nin found in her diaries a profound mode of self-creation and confession, she could not reveal this intimate record of her own experiences during her lifetime. Instead, she turned to fiction, where her stories and novels became artistic “distillations” of her secret diaries. A Spy in the House of Love, whose heroine Sabina is deeply divided between her drive for artistic and sexual expression, on the one hand, and social restrictions and self-created inhibitions, on the other, echoed Nin’s personal struggle with sex, love, and emotional fragmentation. Written when Nin’s own life was taut with conflicting loyalties, her protagonist Sabina repeatedly asks herself, can one indulge in one's sensual restlessness, the fantasies, the relentless need for adventure without devastating consequences?

longs for a life outside her tightknit Amish community, and as her nineteenth
birthday approaches she finally works up the courage to leave her home for good.
Her first taste of the outside world comes courtesy of an English neighbor, Ben
Foster, who gives her a job and a place to stay. He also gives her butterflies
in her stomach and some very improper thoughts that she doesn’t quite

needed, and Hanna soon learns that naughty girls get their bare bottoms soundly
spanked.
Even

Ben is uncertain. They’re both running away from their past, and Hanna has
always planned to run far, far away. Are their paths only meant to cross for a
short time, or will they discover a new road to walk together?
