  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;This bestseller covers a single momentous year during Nin&amp;#8217;s life in Paris, when she met Henry Miller and his wife, June. &amp;#8220;Closer to what many sexually adventuresome women experience than almost anything I&amp;#8217;ve ever read....I found it a very erotic book and profoundly liberating&amp;#8221; (Alice Walker). The source of a major motion picture from Universal. Preface by Rupert Pole; Index.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

In the early 1930's - well before the heyday of the women's movement, Anais Nin could have listened to society's dictates of what a woman should do with her life.

    <body><![CDATA[I give it a 3 because I was able to put it down; it gets kinda boring at times, and I think Henry Miller's kind of an asshole- I don't get why Anais Nin is so into him, but I do think it's pretty awesome that she was able to share such strong feelings about relationships and talk about sexual needs-...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75804071">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Talk about packing an emotional punch.  Reading Nin's diary was at times like reading my own thoughts on paper...except she managed to be far more eloquent.  I will always be in awe of people who are able to corral their emotional chaos with pen and ink.<br/><br/>Keeping a diary is a self-involved...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67658357">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Anais Nin's &quot;Henry and June&quot; is a fascinating glimpse into one woman's erotic awakening.  Her writing style is absolutely stunning and it's still almost bizarre to imagine someone writing about these moments and salacious details in the 30s--quite a brazen statement of identity.

    <body><![CDATA[The way in which Anais Nin writes in &quot;Henry and June&quot; is obsessive, cyclical, repetitive, poetic, and passionate.  I think that the dizzying and obsessing of the sexual and emotional aspects of her life echo the inner thoughts of many.   Nin's diaries have been questioned, but the validity...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8623118">more...</a>]]></body>
