Synopsis

This novel of sex, secrecy, and escape by an anonymous writer begins with a missing woman; her car lies abandoned on a remote bluff but no body is found. She was the good wife and mother: mannerly, quiet, and self-contained. But she has left behind an incendiary diary chronicling a disturbing journey of sexual awakening. As the diary opens on her honeymoon in Morocco, she believes herself to be happy . Swiftly, however, this smooth surface is ruptured as an act of massive betrayal propels her into a world of desire, fantasy and recklessness. What begins for her in the imagination ends in a downward spiral of obsession and release. The protagonist finds an unlikely heroine to inspire her in a dusty, rare manuscript written by an anonymous woman in the 1600s, a cry from the heart for women to live and love freely. With this as her guide, she dares to challenge convention as she learns the intoxicating power of knowing what she wants and how to get it. The question is, how long can her soul sustain a perilous double life? Coolly impassioned, The Bride Stripped Bare explores the truth about love and sex. Couched in a deceptively simple style, it will make you question whether it is ever entirely possible to know another person.

Media Reviews
The problem with pornography is not that it exploits or degrades, but that if you are remotely interested in it there is so much about that it can absorb every moment of every waking hour, plus some when you are not awake. As a delivery medium for pornography, the printed book lacks the impact of the Internet, and must rely for its appeal not on explicitness but literary value. Part of the sales pitch for this book is that the female author has two novels to her name, which is a secret. Like all sex books this one is conventional, being an account of sexual awakening and self-discovery. As usual with pornography what is particularly exciting is what is not shown or said. In this case the identity of 'Anonymous'.
