“Somehow, women's romance novels are not titled He Stopped When I Said "No". They are, though, titled Sweet Savage Love, in which the woman rejects the hand of her gentler lover who saves her from the rapist and marries the man who repeatedly and savagely rapes her. It is this "marry the rapist" theme that not only turned Sweet Savage Love into a best-seller but also into one of women's most enduring romance novels.” MenSaidHandsRomanceNovelHe ManSweetLoversEndureThemeRejectsSavagesRomance NovelSellersBest Sellers Author:Warren Farrell

“The Dream Lover-what a bold, insightful, and enticing novel. And how vigorously Elizabeth Berg brings us the iconoclastic life of George Sand. Berg writes with such intimacy and compassion that I think she must have some shared ancestral DNA with Sand. I savored every page.” ThinkingWritingDreamCompassionNovelLoversPagesIntimacySandInsightfulDnaEnticing Author:Frances Mayes
“Almost any tale of our doings is comic. We are bottomlessly comic to each other. Even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. The novel is a comic form. Language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. God, if He existed, would laugh at His creation. Yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. Out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.” IfsPersonsPainFormLife IsLanguageBornChanceSleepCasesNovelLaughingDangerousCreationLoversJokesToolsHorribleTalesComicIronyBelovedMetaphysicalDoingsBeloved Person Book:The Black Prince Source: The Black Prince
