In the tradition of such works as The Romance of Lust, The Boudoir, Suburban Souls, and Beatrice, this powerfully poetic, powerfully sensuous story of an alluring, enigmatic young woman learning about the infinite manifestations of love, holds a revered place in the Blue Moon Victorian Library.

A disappointment from two of the masters...,

This review is from: Laura (Paperback)
This book as first published under the title of 'Between The Shadows And The Light' and credited to Anonymous in 1992. Laura is certainly a classic Victorian era novel as we follow Laura through her travels visiting both friends and family as she remembers her exposure and loss of virginity. Surprisingly, I did not like this book because the author had a tendency to loose me, the reader, particularily during some of the most erotic scenes. This had the effect of confusing the visualizations that the readers should enjoy while reading erotic literature, rather than sticking to the task at hand. It's really too bad since I was hoping to enjoy this Patrick Henden book as much as his other 5 star works such as; Lusts Labour Won (mind blowing) Eveline II, Katherine(prob one of his best works) and others .... As for the co-author, Edward Delauney, his masterful writin skill as shown in 'The Calamities of Jane' don't really show here either ... Sorry ....

By jjjones "jjjones" (ottawa, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Laura (Paperback)
I got a lot of enjoyment out of some previous patrick henden books like dancing fawns and miriam, so i expected to be reasonably pleased by this book, but regretably it was quite a failure. Sometimes he can pull off writing erotica in a mysterious and elusive fashion, but here, its hard to know, which character is speaking, its tiring trying to follow the plot, and there's no pay-off for doing so, because there's very little heartpounding erotica to be had. The titular heroine
seems much more aggressive and potty-mouthed than previous Henden female lead's and the sexual theme seems to be "keep your moon up proud, and do not deny the entry of the pestle." To that end, most of the sex is either lesbian in nature, or anal, which gets a bit tiring, for fans of regular intercourse.
