Our unnamed narrator takes her readers through an unusual resolution of lost love. Six months after parting from her girlfriend, Colette, she's still in pain, so she allows herself one hundred and twenty-one days to recover, while at the same time undertaking a journey into the Marquis de Sade's One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom. Thus does our narrator catalogue her fall from the intense emotion of young, innocent love to despairing, bitter debauchery, and at the same time expose Sade's role in her own modern life. This novel is not solely an edgy, explicit tale, nor it is merely a sour-sweet love story. This gripping novel breaks all boundaries and knows few confines. A fascinating examination of lust and sadism, with a modern and original style, from an exciting new literary writer.
