Let's be clear this one, written in 1995 in the same line with a heroine who looks great at least on being unsatisfied sexually and personally. Harriet has just left her boyfriend and will accept an assistant job with a famous actress without suspecting that she will get into a very particular game staged by her husband Lewis. Very soon the special relations that her boss with her husband appear in the eyes of Harriet, and when the half brother Chris comes in to turn the pieces of this scenario are set up sparing us anything.
While initially the path that accepts to take heroin bothered me (not shocked) as incomprehensible to me, from the time when Harriet no longer appears as a pawn used in an unhealthy relationship with a man playing the fear of growing old with his wife, I dove in the story fascinated by mastering Marina Anderson to tell us this romance so special and unconventional without falling into the murky nor pornography.
The author goes very far, nothing we sweeten with numerous sex scenes, burning and detailed, without taboos describes the possible combinations between multitudes four people: duo, trio, quartet through voyeurism and even with the extreme incestuous relationship. This may seem morally offensive but I found myself enjoying this story, some things are hard to believe at first but relations are always different behind closed doors, and from the moment people are willing and find their why not pleasure.
The story is very successful and the idea of Marina Anderson is original and can seduce you. It was daring to take a famous film director man who consents to the special relationship of his wife and decides to make a film by introducing a third person who is the only one not to know the truth. The characters become actors of his future film about his real life and observes what will happen between them emotionally and sexually against it did not expect the denouement that follows.
I think this is the kind of story that you will love or hate simply following your taste and your openness. It is well written but the concept can disturb, for my part I enjoyed it and I would read without hesitation because the end result lets us foresee.
