ARLET HEELS – 26 STORIES ABOUT SEXRachel McAlpine
CC Press - $29.95 - Publication date – 14 February 2010
What a subject! Such fun, I read these 26 often funny, sometimes serious, occasionally steamy stories over the holiday weekend and enjoyed them enormously. Twenty six women, young and old, in fact from teenage to 84 years, talk about moments when sex changed their lives by bringing about change, clarity or love.
It says much for McAlpine’s prose writing skills that she can make the voices sound so different from one another although in her ‘discreet thanks’ at the end of the book she does thank “anonymous friends who told me their stories about sex and let me use them”.
In a nice touch each story is separated by a love poem.
