Title: Sleazy, sad and brutal
Review: I finished this book reluctantly because I don't like to abandon books half way through, but now I wish I hadn't bothered. It's not what I call a love story, or even erotic. It's an account of a woman's systematic humiliation and degredation at the hands of various lovers, culminating in the brutal and unnecessarily graphic murder of her one true love, accompanied throughout by her belief that she deserves no better. The love scenes between the women which could have been tender in another context, were marred for me by Sofia's passive acceptance of fate and the inevitability of what had to follow. Why would anyone who loves women write a book like this? Save your money.
