Book Description

June 23, 2009

From Gloria Vanderbilt comes a story of erotic obsession, told in tandem. Priscilla Bingham was one half of the perfect elite New York couple until her beloved husband P. J. Talbot unexpectedly died in the middle of their tenth wedding anniversary celebration. Year later, Pris stumbles upon a collection of letters among Talbot′s papers. There--on the most exquisite paper, in the most exquisite detail--is Pris′s undoing. The letters are from Talbot′s "Queen Bea", his treasured mistress/ dominatrix who "organizes his erotica"and has spared no detail of it (or her disdain for "Wife′") in her correspondence.

From the moment she discovers Bea, Pris is obsessed with her, with Talbot, with their sex. And her obsession must be satiated.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

As narrator of her sexually explicit work of fiction, Vanderbilt draws heavily on her polished, almost aristocratic annunciation. This approach seems fitting, given the story line centered on a fabulously wealthy architect's widow named Priscilla, who discovers her late husband's secret relationship with Bee, a kept woman specially trained in the art of erotic pleasure. The text consists mostly of Priscilla's simultaneously indignant and inquisitive reading of the steamy letters between the principals. Vanderbilt's narration keeps the initial plot elements moving efficiently, but once Priscilla takes the step of pursuing a meeting with Bee, it becomes difficult for listeners to distinguish among the characters.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful. The worst book I've ever read. Forget about it!, September 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I only attempted this book because it was hyped in some very reliable sources as an erotic tale written by Gloria Vanderbilt. I was curious.

Well, first of all, it is much too short to be called a book. It measures only 5 x 7, the type is humongous, there are wide margins and it is only 144 pages long. The theme is bondage amidst some pretentious over-described scenes. I read the whole thing in about a half hour and must say that this is the worst book I have ever read. It's boring, it's silly and the parts that are supposed to be erotic seem actually comic.

This book is awful. Don't bother with it.

This review is from: Obsession (Kindle Edition)
this was a horrible read. writing was bad, plot was hard to follow, and ending with a sentence that says this is the end of the book "dear readers"?? complete waste of my time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs down..............., July 26, 2009
By 
Ruby D. (Beverly Hills,Ca) - See all my reviews
..two thumbs to flip it into the trash can, It is a boring and bizarre plot. It is a bored, rich and frigid housewives fantasy, has a couple of 'c*ck' words in it, but the erotica is too Harlequin fantasy romance paperback type. If you must read it, wait a few weeks it will show up at the 99c store.
