A classic erotic novel that has sold over 1 million copies worldwide and been translated into 21 languages
Product Description
Long before The Sexual Life of Catherine M, Grandes was dazzling the literary world with this highly charged novel about a young woman embarking on a series of sexual adventures. Lulu's journey begins won the night she loses her virginity to Pablo - her brother's best friend and twelve years her senior. Their relationship is obsessive - not possessive - and their appetites for new erotic territory are insatiable. Lulu's thirst for sexual discovery takes her through voyeurism, power plays and homoeroticism. But soon her forays into illicit and dangerous sex threaten to absorb her completely¿

Format:Hardcover
In a long tradition of spanish independent films the theme of sexual exploration and discovery moves into the "dark" realms of sexual violence and the body as a pure object. the film looks at several complex levels of being from capitalistic values through to gender.

Lulu's brother friend Pablo exploits Lulu's puppy love by taking her virginity at an early age. Her sexual appetite grows as Pablo introduces her to new unchartered erotic territories. Her thirst for sexual discovery with or without him leads to all our sexual fantasies. This book was a gift to me and after reading it, my erotic collection has grown furiously. A great read into intence erotic desires and complex relationships.

Having read A frozen heart by the same author I was hugely disappointed with this book. The sexual content seemed to be disconnected from a story, from emotion and from any intellectual content. It's not new so I dont really understand why Almudena Grandes wrote this book at all. Having said that A frozen heart is one of the best books I have read which incorporates the Spanish Civil War so please read that book rather than this one. This is the first book I have completely deleted from my kindle.

A cold documentary
`Lulu' is too big a name for this documentary text, if one compares it with Frank Wedekind's play or G.W. Pabst's movie with the sexiest actress ever screened, Louise Brooks. Read more

Interesting, But Hardly Erotic
This book is 'literature' with a fair amount of sex in it, rather than erotica per se. It's an interesting story about real-sounding rough-edged people, and you shouldn't buy it... Read more
