The reader of today maybe experiences the book differently than the reader of the 18th century.
It itsn't such a shock in 21th century, but I didn't actually enjoy it either. Too much sex.Yuck.
The book seems quite romantiziced. Perhaps because it was written by a man. Is it then less believable?
Being a prostitute in the 1700's couldnt have been so much fun, but it is implied in this book that Fanny Hill actually enjoyed it.
She is a 15-year-old girl who arrives in London with no where to go and no money. She ends up being a prostitute, but very early in the story she meets the love of her life, who is then taken away from her...etc.
It it interesting to read a book that was written so long time ago. Though I skipped some parts of it, because I couldn't stand the sex descriptions.
