Annette is a mature woman with a wide circle of good friends and an interesting and stimulating job teaching biology at the local college. But something is wrong. She gradually realises that since the departure of her husband-to-be some years previously, she had unconsciously avoided any kind of closeness that might lead to deepening intimacy. Becoming determined to help herself, she creates an imaginary lover to whom she writes with complete freedom and increasing confidence. Through the course of this "correspondence" she reassesses her intimate life of the past, and she moves into a new spontaneity and lightness as her writing begins to reveal more of her true nature.

"I have read this book for the second time with a cool eye to find out whether it would make the same impression it did on me when I looked through it for the first time. Well, it did. It's bold and liberating. As for the epistolary form, it goes back to 'Fanny Hill'. Yet it also continues the tradition of 'Lady Chatterley' s Lover', as it really is not a love story but a sex story. But first of all it reminds me of 'The Fear of Flying' and Erica Jong' s courage to talk about her sexual fantasies ('we look to fantasy for salvation'). Annette, searching for ecstasy, finds her own inner self. What I value most about this book is the uninhibited inventiveness. The graphic and detailed descriptions of Annette' s fantasies are proof that sex and creativity are certainly a female domain - which contradicts the male-fabricated stereotypes of women as sex objects incapable of sexual imagination. I understand that the contrast between the rather bland narrative depicting the heroine's everyday reality and her very vivid fantasy world are intended. If rendered on film, her reality would be in black and white footage, while her fantasies would be in Technicolor. There must be a sequel to this novel. Ewa Witowska - Polish Television"
