This book makes a statement on current societal attitudes, challenging social norms, and the status quo. It particularly looks at the harsh reality of the life of a mistress. Not to be brushed under the carpet, it’s a bit of an expose that will intrigue you; it captures the 1960s generation of free love and describes how a woman in modern times can still make choices, particularly in regard to her love life and feel empowered by this. She is no societal puppet, controlled by strings.
