The Ages of Lulu

This is the lurid and compelling story of the sexual awakening of Maria Luisa R\JizPoveda y Garcia
de la Casa-affectionately known by her family as Lulu. is a marvel of intense eroticism-the sexiest
book to burst onto the international literary scene since Story of 0.
Though Lulu had a relatively happy childhood, she is haunted by memories of handme-downs and
parental neglect. Often left to her own devices, Lulu finds that her erotic cravings are already
powerfully established when, at fifteen, she is seduced by her older brother's best friend. Pablo is
twelve years her senior, a worldly-wise poet, and an intimate friend of the family. His eagerness to
play the roles of both father-figure and lover makes him seem the perfect partner, and Lulu's secret
pleasure at her submissive role-and its subversion-spurs them on. Lulu has always been fascinated by
the thin line separating decency and morality from perversion, and now Pablo gives her the courage
to explore the darker side of her carnal desires.
