No doubt you've all heard about
Fifty Shades of Grey. The first in the trilogy just so happened to be this month's book club installment. And boy, what a read! I can't believe EL James wrote the whole thing on her blackberry riding the train to and fro work!
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur
Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and
intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this
man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to
him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey
admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by
Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of
success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is
a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple
embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian
Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
Erotic, amusing, and
deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess
you, and stay with you forever.
