The Colonel's Nieces (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535034029)

If Florentine and Julia's aunt can recall with a shudder anything from her short-lived marriage, it was the ravishment she received from her military husband the night of their wedding; a carnal onslaught of a front and rear-guard action that left her doubting all that she had learned of love. Could those traits somehow have passed to those two daughters of her brother. Could they pick it up from the demeanour of their aunt?

When the two sisters, of relatively impoverished background are married off they find themselves given short shrift in the marital bed, much like their aunt. But when their marriages end suddenly they take it upon themselves to embrace all that had thus far subjugated them; true liberal and sexual abandon of a Parisian libertine. Breaking many a heart and hard on the way they will partake in group-menages, soda-masochistic practices and all deed and device in between to satisfy their uncontrollable lusts.

Pseudonymously written in 1880 by Madame La Comtesse De Coeur-Br lant, thought to be a women who set up the first matrimonial agency only to thereafter publish salacious tales of its match-makings, and containing a prose unrestrained and graphically descriptive, is the epitome of Libertine erotica derived from the late 19th century. A debauched tour de force, par excellence
