Product Description

Product Description

Drawn from journals, this book is an account of a woman's sexual awakening, covering a single momentous year - 1931-32, in Paris, when June fell in love with Henry Miller, undermining her own idealized marriage. The question of the outcome of June Miller's return to Paris dominates her thoughts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anais Nin at her best !, 22 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I thought this was an excellent book.
Adapted from Anais's own journals, it follows her affair with the writer Henry Miller, and also her infatuation with his wife June.

It was a wonderful insight into the more sensitive and quite vunerable aspects of Anais personality, written with such genuine feeling and great frankness, that it is lovely to be able to clearly define her different moods.

She describes her characters with fantastic skill and great care it would seem, so that early on within the book you have clear pictures and insight into each one.

This book literally oozes feminine charm and is
one of those books that you never want to put down, in my opinion one of her best works, a definite must for any Anais fan, and an ideal book to start with if you have never read anything by Anais Nin before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and sensual writing from Anais Nin, 23 Aug 2002
This was the first Anais Nin book I ever read and I was quite blown away by it. It sparked a deep interest in Nin's writing which I still feel, over ten years after having read "Henry and June" for the first time. This book traces Nin's sexual awakening as well as her discovery of the joy of living and writing in Paris in the early 1930s, and is written in an intimate, captivating and erotic tone - her descriptions of sexual desire are deeply affecting. Nin's style is not for everyone, but I can guarantee that "Henry and June" will be unlike anything else you've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars My all-time favourite book, 15 Jul 2007
I first read this book several years ago, and I've reread it many times since then and bought copies for some people close to me. I identify very much with Anais in this book. Her style makes it very accessible while the prose is very rich and poetic, and the 'story' is involving.

It's had a very profound effect on my life, and continues to influence me. A very powerful and worthwhile read.
