5.0étoiles sur 5 Refreshingly nonjudgmental tale of infidelity, Nov. 10 2003
Par Douglas King (Cincinnati, OH United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Spy in House of Love: V4 in Nin's Continuous Novel (Paperback)
I actually owned this book for years before getting around to reading it, and then when I finally did I was kicking myself for not reading it sooner. "A Spy in the House of Love" is the story of a young woman named Sabina who, despite having a kind and loving husband, engages in adulterous affairs with men she barely knows. What is it that motivates Sabina? Is it a thirst for adventure? Lust? Resentment towards her husband or the roles society imposes on her? Instead of being a trite morality tale where the "sinner" is punished by facing horrible consequences (like the recent film "Unfaithful") this book explores, without judgement, Sabina's conflicted emotions and motives.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting, Déc 16 2002
Par Gordon Smith (san jose, ca United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Spy in House of Love: V4 in Nin's Continuous Novel (Paperback)
I really dug into this little book. I t does a good job of examining the psyche of a woman who can't remain faithful to the man she loves. While I might have previously considered the main character's behaviour an example of (wo-)mankind's endless ability to justify selfish acts, I got some perspective on aspects of the main character's psyche which was evidently much needed. This is sort of anti-existentialism, where people are small and subject to pulls from their gender, class, race, and age, never mind their impulses. It doesn't justify chronic faithlessness, at all, but it does present a certain disphoric reality where only the very strong can be responsible for the consequences of their actions.

5.0étoiles sur 5 No words to describe its beauty!!, Jui 6 2002

This review is from: Spy in House of Love: V4 in Nin's Continuous Novel (Paperback)
I just finished one of the most amazing book of the century gone by. I do not know why people always associate Anais Nin and her works to Erotica when there is so much more to it. Yes she did write a whole lotta sensous reading material but then again she was only portraying the truth, wasn't she?

A Spy in the House of Love is all about a woman named Sabina and her life as she flows or rather drifts from one lustful experience to another. She lies, she deceives, she puts on an act only never to find solace in places where she looks for the most - in the arms of strangers but her own husband Alan.

My feelings ranged like tidal waves while devouring this book. I felt like a thief hiding a secret and at the same time felt so connected with my emotions and responses to what my body demanded.

Sabina as a character is so quite that sometimes her silence speaks volumes. The way she moves, the way Ms. Nin breathes life into her is absolutely a piece of art. Rising from the ashes and yet unforgiven. A true to life caricature of what desires can do and their power on our mortal lives.
