Publisher's summary

Anais Nin is undoubtedly a great writer. In Delta of Venus, she welcomes us into a world of new experiences where she demands that 'sex be mixed with tears, laughter, promises....new faces, dancing and wine.'

This ground breaking collection of stories explores aspects of female sexuality long unexposed until Anais opened what she herself was to call 'that Pandora's box.' It is brave, fearless and compelling.

Ingrid Pitt reads our production. When she slapped Richard Burton across the face in 'Where Eagles Dare' her career was launched. She has not looked back appearing in films such as 'Countess Dracula', 'The House That Dripped Blood' and the SAS saga 'Who Dares Wins'.

So sultry

The narrator is absolutely perfect, sounds as timeless as it feels to read in print. Lovely job.

Disappointing.

Reading the book is better. I don’t remember the first story and see by other reviews this is not the complete book.

Wow!

What an earful! The narrator's whispery, filmy voice, her fab accent, the dizzying content, its all just a big sugary earful! Anyone who fancies themselves having lived a previous life as a film noir star, or as a courtesan, or some sort of glam girl, will loooooove this book.

I couldn't make it through.

Would you try another book from Anais Nin and/or Ingrid Pitt?

I don't think I would try any others. After reading reviews and having it suggested, I really tried to get through it. I just couldn't get past the narration. Sometimes it just ruins the story.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narration was the worst part. Annoying.. I deleted it before I could get through 30 minutes.

Palpable sensuality.

Erotic, intense, and well narrated. Miles beyond modern romance novels. Sexy without being awkward or sleazy.

Sexy, sultry, strong!

I enjoyed this book very much, I mean who wouldn’t? It’s a series of short stories filled with sultry erotica. However, I didn’t enjoy the performance and accent of the narrator. In some parts I couldn’t understand a thing she was saying.
I recommend it, anyway.

That Glorious Being: Woman

These stories are sexy and classy. The prose is elegant. And Ingrid Pitt"s sensual, playful voice is the ideal mediator between these holy stories and all devout lover's of that great Being called Woman.
