1041. Wild in the Country (Portia Da Costa)

Synopsis:
Flora Swain is a newcomer to the village of Marwick Magna, renowned for the inspiration it provides to painters and poets. Impetuous and strong-minded, Flora is no artist yet. But there are creative urges within her, she is convinced, and she has come to the country to give them life. The strange thing is that Flora s urges turn out to be almost entirely sensual. Is it the undoubted physical allure of her new neighbour, Declan McKenna, that s driving her wild? Or the explicitly sexual messages which appear daily in her post? Or could it be that country life has revealed to her an insatiable, highly erotic new self?

My rating: 4 stars
