This review is from: Carousel (Paperback)

Hilary discovers a tryst between her husband and a maid. Hilary wrestles with her anger, guilt, shame, and, above all, her perverse arousal. Compelled to become a voyeur, Hilary learns the extent of her husband's promiscuity and the private deviations of heterosexuals. Striving to exact revenge through infidelity, Hilary soon discovers seceret longings within. Through a series of sexualy submissive encounters, Hilary tries to assuage her guilt and satisfy her deepest desires. This well written erotic novel is my favorite by Daniel Vian.

This review is from: Carousel (Paperback)

Hilary Blair living in Paris discovers her husband, Walter, enjoying the sweetness of one of the many maids in their house. Although shocked at first her emotions go from disgust, to anger, to hate and then revenge. Although she never really goes through that agonizing introspection that many authors seem to beat to death, the readers sees the gentle transformation in Hilary's mind as we are seduced into acompaniying our heronie on her quest for revenge that unexpectedly turns into self discovery. Hilary really never jumps on that recriminatory roller coaster of emotion as she describes perfectly, with stunning clarity and simplicity, her sexual awakening with an ever increasing circle of friends and aquaintances. One can easily identify with the thoughts in Hilary's mind as she describes her hesitation, and nervousness while experiencing erotic and sexual trysts. For those that may have read my other reviews, this book does not have the hard hitting erotica that I generally enjoy, but, it's a wonderfull book equisitely written by a master and certainly should be calssified as a Blue Moon classic.
