Members Reviews:
Interesting lightly erotic take on vintage female
This lightly, barely erotic book is not a romance, and it is nowhere near a finished story. The main characters are married couple Ewan and Lilliane and Ewans medical doctor friend, Phillip. Side characters include a French Canadian maid and friend of Lilliane and Ewans butler James. And almost all of the action occurs at Ewans Draper Estates.
The story seems to be a lite and partial take on the movie Hysteria that tells of Mortimer Granville creating the first vibrator. Its a story about dealing with Lillianes affliction with the help of Phillip in order to avoid institutionalizing her. The only potentially problematic aspect of the story is the question of whether or not Lillianes treatment causes her emotional and/or mental distress thats really harmful. In the end, thats in the eye of the beholder and might bother some listeners.
The story ends very abruptly and without any sense of closure. But it is a good story that is told well. Its not a rehash of the old, which is great. It flows well, makes sense, is plausible on the extreme side of life, and the narrator does a fine job with it.
Dont look to this story for pristine adherence to Victorian language. But, from my little knowledge, the story seems to do a very good job of adhering to the social and marital views of that time as it pertains to females and marriage, especially. I hope part 2 of this story will come to Audible.
