Beautiful, bored, and bourgeoisie, Sabina leads a double life inspired by her relentless desire for brief encounters with near strangers. Fired into faithlessness by a desperate longing for sexual fulfillment, she weaves a sensual web of deceit across New York. But when the secrecy of her affairs becomes too much to bear, Sabina makes a late-night phone call to a stranger from a bar and begins a confession that captivates the unknown man and soon inspires him to seek her out....

Another classic Nin work. Psycho sexual and definitely ahead of its time. Deadpan narrator but it works.

Anaïs Nin never fails to amaze

The book is an interesting one but the narrator is very boring and flat which renders it unlistenable. Shame because it is an interesting work from Nin.

Mediocre narrator makes book fall flat

Anais Nin is always impressive, and this is a book i'd never heard of. Good, straight ahead reading. THUMBS UP!

Very Mysterious

Pretty profound and beautifully written- I particularly enjoyed the cyclical structure - though I think that the protagonist would've been easier to empathise with if she wasn't so casually racist, repeatedly fetishising the POC characters.

if only it wasn't racist

Never hear of this narrator before but what a great book! Simple, direct performance and amazing tale of weirdness from Nin.

The narrator could have been better but the story is so captivating that I listened to the entire thing regardless. If you’ve ever been in Sabina’s position, it is chilling how accurate it is portrayed.

Beautiful and raw

Anais Nin is the best. So weird and cool. This book's narrator is a bit flat but I think it works. I'd say get this and listen today.
