From BooklistLiving in Shanghai has proved one thing to Englishwoman Charlotte Hicks: she wants more from life than an Englishwoman normally receives. When she finds a set of erotic scrolls left behind by her friend, she decides to begin with learning what those scrolls depict. Serving as First Boy in an English household has also proved to Ken Jin that he needs more from life, but when he learns that Miss Charlotte had found sacred Tigress scrolls, his first mission is to wrest them from her possession and return them to their rightful place. Stubborn as ever, Miss Charlotte refuses, unless he agrees to teach her what the scrolls truly mean. The latest in Lee's Tigress series, following Hungry Tigress and Desperate Tigress (both 2005), offers a more humorous tone, but have no fear: Lee's deft eroticism hasn't lost any of its power. With her latest variant on the Tigress practice, Lee's star continues to burn bright. Nina DavisCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Views: 68
On a cold morning in February 1922, some Gypsies moving across country between Madrid and Escorial came upon the naked body of a woman. The naked woman had been crucified. The body was covered with thin red lacerations as though before death the woman had been whipped mercilessly with fine rods. Across the belly on a fine silver chain was slung a small metal plate which bore the inscription: Carmencita de las Lunas, por amor. For love... Thongs is the troubling account of Gertrude Gault, also known as Carmencita de las Lunas, a nymphomaniac who desired, indeed demanded, pain in preference to love, who lived for pain and ultimately freely gave her life for Pain as the Virgin Death. Some readers will find the work sacrilegious as it imitates, perhaps mocks, the Roman Catholic Church, and indeed reveals a cult that worships pain and a virgin martyr. Views: 68
