Isabeau and Morgan return to an almost forgotten realm in Whoa!mance, but one that still remains familiar - THE BODICE RIPPER. And not bodice ripper as in "their boobs are so big it is ripping the bodice". But somehow, the experience of reading Denys is very, very different. And the reasons why feel as elusive as a copy of the book itself.
Can a long book still have brevity? Is "bodice ripping" something that you can condition yourself through or is it just a result or contextual relativism? Is this thing worth 800 U.S. dollars?
Trigger warnings: Sexual assault and murder.
