When Sherry is left alone in Singapore, what sort of trouble will she get into? While her husband Tim works on the oil rigs of Borneo, Sherry is left alone in Singapore. She fills in her time by studying yoga with a guru who has very definite ideas about what makes a woman. She will have to learn to be sexy all over again, and her friend Ranji soon has her playing magic flutes all over town. But what will Tim do when he finds out what she has been doing? Will he send her away, or train her to be the wife he wants? Reviews "Tim and Sherry are a married couple from England who have lost that spark in their love lives.

When Tim returns home and realizes that Sherry has been spending her time with other men, he kidnaps her and holds her as his prisoner on an island. There he will begin to teach her how his wife will be. Jacqueline George has a great way of writing a novel.. It's like being lost in a movie, you can actually feel yourself in the jungle, on the beach, in England, in Asia, Jacqueline is great at detail. I recommend you have a vivid imagination and you don't blush too easily to read this story. It's one written to not only turn the characters on, but the readers as well.

ジャクリーン・ジョージは、熱帯の湿り気と抑圧された情欲を鮮烈に融合させる名手です。本作の核心は、異国での覚醒と夫による極限の「再教育」が描く、自己の崩壊と再構築のプロセスにあります。単なる官能を超え、女性のアイデンティティが他者の手でいかに変容し得るかという危うい美学が、読者の本能を激しく揺さぶります。 物語の根底には支配と服従という根源的なテーマが流れ、映像的な筆致が読者の五感を執拗に刺激します。孤島という閉鎖空間で愛と所有の境界線が消失していく描写は圧巻です。文明の皮を剥いだ人間の真実が、官能的な情熱と共に立ち昇る一冊。読み進めるほどに、歪んだ絆が放つ甘美な毒に、あなたもきっと囚われるはずです。
