One face turns to the other"

Lust, sweat and longing
© Copyright. 2015. All rights reserved.
Fresh
and powerful. A series of three short novellas that explore a Japanese woman’s
view of relationships with foreigners (African – American men).
“ I had always been able to
turn heads, but not like this, so whenever we went out together I felt so
uncomfortable” p81
Each
story shares a different relationship and different insights. Pleasure, loss,
lust, sex, communication issues, power, roles, longing, the culture gap,
misunderstandings, learning new things from a partner that then become part of
your life (places, people, food, objects, mannerisms, sayings, music, scents,
clothing, etc), and the fragileness .
