Reviews

I have to be honest and tell you I was not interested in it because of the title. I didn't think it would be my kind of book but I'm so glad my book club chose to read it because I really enjoyed the story. It's a story about culture, honor and how it conflicts with other more "modern day" culture. I really enjoyed the family and community dynamics along with an interesting little twist regarding a crime that takes place. This was a very fast read and so glad I looked past the title. The "erotic" stories are really more about these women gaining confidence and being more vocal about their needs.
