Junichiro Tanizaki's Seven Japanese Tales collects stories that explore the boundary at which love becomes self-annihilation, where the contemplation of beauty gives way to fetishism, and where tradition becomes an instrument of voluptuous cruelty. A beautiful blind musician exacts the ultimate sacrifice from the man who is both her disciple and her lover. A tattooist turns the body of an exquisite young girl into a reflection of her predatory inner nature. A young man is erotically imprisoned by memories of his absent mother. Shocking in its content and lyrical in its beauty, these stories represent some of the finest work of one of Japan's greatest modern writers.Binding Type: Paperback

So, OK I love a good drawn out love story and this one is just that!
Format: Kindle
Clare Lyndon has again made me swoon! This delightful trip from London to the Scottish highlands is as wonderful and full of character as I remember from my trip there with my wife years ago. The descriptive presentation is accurate in beauty and the warmth of the people. The characters are dynamic and full of life. Clearly Ms Lyndon has a gift.

good story and decent writing
Format: Kindle
Many books in this genre suffer from either lack of editing or incomplete development. This is my first book from this author and i was pleasantly surprised. If it was another genre (non lesbian) i might give it a 4 but for this genre it’s definitely a 5. Looking forward to checking out more from this author.

A Time Piece
Format: Paperback
Another wonderful book by Clare Lydon. She never disappoints. The dynamics between Poppy & Eliza are on a collision course throughout the book; even though they become romantically involved, the reader is just waiting for the shoe to drop. Through three-quarters of the book, it hits the fan. A secret from Poppy's mom surprises everyone. It throws everyone for a loop. This is a book that I read in one day because I just couldn't put it down.
