Apparently, she doesn’t see the contradiction. Author Nikki Gemmell’s goal with the book was to write a “scrupulously honest” tale about sex within marriage, stating that the only way she felt able to do so was anonymously. Either by a clever woman with an eye for marketing, or by a naive Pollyanna who refuses to take responsibility for her sexual inadequacies. Everyone’s read it and everyone has an opinion on it. Seems the punters just can’t get enough of this sexcapade of a book, proclaiming itself a revelatory dissertation on what women really want in bed. The Bride Stripped Bare was Australia’s best-selling local book in 2003, and is still floating somewhere in the national top ten. But the truth is that the curse of being me is also the blessing of being me. I’ve considered changing my name, publishing novels under a nom de plume.
