Move over D.H. Lawrence and Titanic! The primary story, A Man with A Maid, an underground novel of the Victorian era, is a gentle and loving novel with mild bondage. The novel works on a lot of levels and actually has deep insights into the nature of sexual desire. Alice, a charming but rather frigid young lady has been raised with all the hypocracy of the Victorian era and doesn't even admit to herself the smouldering sensuality of her body and subconscious mind. She visits the man but is stiffly formal and pretends she has no interest in the man. He knows better. He lures her in and traps her in a snuggery -- an elaborate padded cell previously designed to restrain the insane, where nobody will hear her scream -- and he ties her up with cords and leaves her suspended. She is gradually forced to admit to her burning sensuality as he tortures her with pleasure (like feathers against her naked, tied-up body). He doesn't release her, yet he doesn't take her either; instead he tortures her with pleasure not pain until she can't stand it anymore. She finally begs for him... and he forces her to admit to herself that she really has sexual desires equal to his, that the Victorian era could not allow any lady to publicly admit to.... I was hung up about sex and read this as in college, it released me from my own inhibitions from childhood.

Order two copies! Read it aloud with your honey over the phone, or in person and you two will not be able to keep your hands off each other! Or give it to a friend that you wish to be intimate with, and I guarantee it will provoke them!

I picked this book up on the way to a 18 hour flight. once I got on the plane I said oh well here goes. ( The book really does not tell you what its about on the cover) Needless to say I was upset my flight was over. Good thing I was flying to meet my husband!!!!!!!!!!!

sexiest work of literature,film or anything i've ever experienced.i've thought about the powerful images every day for years,
