A woman looking for affection through sexual gratification. Thought to be a semi autobiographical account of part of her own life. Scandalous at the time. Some found it wonderful loving the lyrical prose and enjoyable use of words. The character engendered differing views - some thinking her shallow and unsympathetic, other finding her an interesting character using sex like a man - without emotion. Most felt the characterisation was not brilliant. Words used to describe it: disjointed, lyrical beauty with a shallow plot, beautiful vignettes, poetically shallow, confusing but poignant, kaleidoscopic. Marks out of 10 ranged 4 - 9.
