Synopsis

Set in Madrid in the 1970s and '80s, this novel offers insights in female sexuality. At 15 Lulu is seduced by an older man. They marry and have a child, but at 30 she embarks on a series of dubious sexual encounters which brings her into contact with low-life characters of all sexual inclinations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

At just fifteen years old, Lulu, a "round, hungry little girl," finds that her erotic cravings are already powerfully established when she is seduced by a family friend, Pablo, twelve years her senior. This initial encounter incites the violent power play that drives an adult Lulu through a series of increasingly titillating sexual exploits. Always fascinated by the thin line separating decency and morality from perversion, Lulu gains the courage to explore the darker side of her carnal desires—but as her forays become increasingly desperate, the world of illicit and dangerous sex threatens to engulf her completely.
A groundbreaking novel of sexual exploration, The Ages of Lulu sparked international controversy and was an overnight sensation when it was first published in Spain fifteen years ago. It won the Sonrisa Vertical Prize for erotic fiction, and was made into a film starring Javier Bardem.
