Title: Raped in the Dark
Product review: Heard about this book, a potboiler down in Columbia, but was pleasantly surprised, the wife and I, by an interesting story, poetic really, about a place and time, late 19th Century Latin America. The sexuality of the Columbian middle to upper classes surprised me. Normally nude scenes embarrass in mixed company. If I want porn, then okay, but posed nudes in old Columbia were beautiful, charming.The accent thing was a bit annoying, either do it in Spanish and then overdub or get a Spanish cast to do English with heavy accents. That Alexander film with Brad Pitt doing the English accent playing a Greek. You see what I mean.Nevertheless, once we waded into poor Florentino's unrequited love and then unlikely seductions, particularly his first experience when he is raped in the dark, fascinating.
