内容説明
'The day I left Japan, I stared at my reflection in the mirror in the airport ladies' room and made the following vows: I would never tell another lie, especially to myself. I would never let desire overwhelm common sense. I would never sleep with a man who was married to someone else, mime fellatio with a complete stranger on a stage, or take money for sex again. In fact, to cover all bases, I would never have sex again with anyone, man or woman, for the rest of my life.' The erotic secrets of one woman's sexual awakening and her subsequent passions in Japan as an 'Amorous Woman'

smart and sexy debut!

I was a complete novice to Japanese culture and customs before I read this book. What's so marvelous about this debut novel from Storey is that it's so lushly descriptive that the narrator's experiences are nearly palpable. The sensual delights are both sexual and seductive. Whether it's the cherry blossoms in Kyoto or a tantalizing meal or a potential lover's hands, Storey's talent for words and genuine appreciation combine to capture the reader and nestle them into the middle of the surroundings. The plot is smooth, the characters are both appealing and intriguing, and the novel as a whole sizzles. Not to be missed!

A delicate and exquisite work of erotic literature

Eminent erotica writer Donna George Storey has such a gift for offering the reader the right details. Amorous Woman, as other reviewers have illustrated, is an epic story; but the author paints with a light hand, weaving a fast-moving yet exquisite narrative out of the most essential, resonant, perfect details. The effect is breathtaking--not to mention reminiscent of the "less is more" beauty of some schools of Japanese art. And so, after reading the book's 350 pages, we feel as if we've lived and breathed with Lydia for a decade. This masterful blending of the epic and intimate is truly striking.

An erotic journey to Japan - lively and hot!

形式:ペーパーバック
Donna George Storey's 'Amorous Woman' is an enticing and delicious journey into the often-misunderstood world of Japanese erotic culture. Clearly, the author knows her stuff and moreover she was blessed with excellent source material for inspiration, Ihara Saikaku's 17th century novel 'The Life of an Amorous Woman'. Long considered a classic of Japanese erotica (but quite tame in it's language by today's standards), it's prose offers a vision of the Japanese woman as a fully realized erotic being, quite a feat for it's time.
Such is the case with Storey's main character Lydia, a Japanese soul in occidental clothing. Lydia is complex and vulnerable, highly likable and fully believable, a complete foil for Storey's vivid and compelling tale of sexual and personal transformation. Lydia's character is the glue that holds this book together, and she's so well drawn that at times I felt like I was reading an autobiography rather than a piece of fiction.
This is very much the thinking person's porn, written with an insider's understanding of the complexities and rituals of Japanese culture. The sex scenes are hot and descriptive, and touch upon a wide variety of situations from plain vanilla to midlevel kink. One can certainly use this as a one-handed reader if they choose to do so, but it's really more than that. The immersion into Japanese culture is vivid and entertaining in and of itself, making this a much more robust work than your average fantasy-fodder.
Extremely well done. I'd love to see more from this author. Two thumbs and one......errr.uh....well, anyway, two thumbs UP!
