Book Description

2 Nov 1995
Quiet Virginia Fly, still a virgin at 31, harbours erotic thoughts of an intensity unimagined by her parents, her suitor or even her virile American penfriend. Suddenly, Virginia is presented with a variety of ways to lose her virginity - but can any of them fulfil her considerable expectations?

5.0 out of 5 stars droll, disturbing satire of the first order 22 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Don't judge this book by it's cover. Huth is closer to Muriel Spark than Joanna Trollope and this terrific novel in which a woman's state of virginity becomes a media circus is a must read. Satirically sparky, this is a brilliant social comedy written with depth and flashes of brilliant insight. This novel has a wonderful cringe factor and conjures the torpor of suburbia in a totally arresting and original way. Look out for the TV play with Anna Massey. I shall be reading more of Huth's work despite the insipid watercolour covers. It's time she was exposed to a more appreciative audience.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As good as Angela Huth's other books, which I strongly recomend paticularly to fans of Mary Wesley and Anne Tyler.
