Love in a Nutbag
draws a subtle line between
easy-read and soft-core
literary, with a magical
mixture of romance and
sexual realism.
Love in a Nutbag
presents a combination of
literary and intellectual as
well as sexual and romantic
interest. The story is a
“parallel montage” in the
lives of two women —— the
modern granddaughter and the
dead grandmother, suggesting
how the two lives are bound
together in a common quest
for those epiphanies, or
moments of intense (often
sexual) fulfillment, that
come out of the “nutbag”
that our otherwise humdrum
and prosaic lives
occasionally present to us.
The story, while rooted in
real life, presents a subtle
line between easy-read and
soft-core literary with a
magical sprinkle of sexual
realism. While the novel may
well cater to the romantic
inclination of the Joanna
Trollope reader, it will
certainly appeal to the
‘thinking’ woman —— and man!
It has energy and emotional
texture as well as
beautifully crafted
language. The style is
succinct, the language
evocative —— both sensuous
and sensual.
