Fanny Hill, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland

3.0

Well this turned out to be somewhat more graphic and sexually charged than I expected, which at first made for a great story and a very interesting read. But then it started to get a little repetitive as Fanny moves from one man to another, using her sexuality (and little else) to gain their trust and support. That aside, she does still manage to keep a certain level of independence, particularly given the social norms of the era and how these dictate the direction her life goes. Not to mention the descriptive and inventive language used, particularly the many and varied words used for the male member.
