As a literature student I am outraged that I have never been told about Bennett and I can't believe this novel has not been reviewed on amazon!
I will not give too much away, what I will say is that as a young woman myself while reading the book I expected to be writing a review saying that every young woman should read this book. However since finishing, it is clear that every woman regardless of age, will sympathize with the character Carlotta as they grow with her.
Passion, tragedy and sorrow...forget Twilight and pick up this! enjoy x

This story is not as explicit as it's title might suggest so it won't offend delicate sensitivities worth reading. :o)

Wonderful

I've always loved the word 'serendipity,' and that's what happened when I read this book. It's the first novel I've read by Bennett, and I'll immediately find more by him. This one is a fictional autobiography about the life and loves of a British woman in the late 19th century. It's the first book I've read from this era in which a male author writes a story in first person with a female protagonist. It must have been a little shocking when it was published in 1905- she loses her virginity in a one-night stand followed by a morning-after scene in the bed, she has a fling with a married man and later shacks up with a man. The story has very few characters, and there isn't much conversation- most of it takes place in the woman's head. The ending of Part 2 is surprising, and the ending of the book is unexpected and sudden. The author does an excellent job describing things, especially music in Part 1. I liked this book a lot, will read it again soon, and am looking forward to more by Bennett.

Good start, terrible ending

I downloaded this book to my kindle because it was free and had a good review. The first part of the book was very good and I agree with the previous reviewer, that the best part was the author's descirptions of the music. I gave this book 3 stars because it was free. If I had spent money, it would have been much lower. The ending of the book is the worst- so bad that I felt like I had wasted my time reading the book.
Interesting read

Art has to do with emotions, not with ideas, and the great defect of literature is that it can only express emotions by means of ideas. What makes music the greatest of all the arts is that it can express emotions without ideas.
