You - Pippa Caruana

. .

Résumé :
She is a gardener, living alone in the gardeners shed, surrounded by her books, her walking boots and her maps. He is a photographer, 3524 miles away, American and completely opposite to her in every way. And then it happens. An attraction, the flirting, the lust, the desire, written in letters to the other. Her fantasies, with him, without him, in libraries and cafes and beaches and bedrooms and showers and alleyways. In the dark, in the daylight, on Sundays and Mondays and Saturdays, when she wakes from slumber, when she works in the garden, when she tries to put herself to sleep. These are her secret desires, shared with a lover she has met on social media and has never met in person, but hopes to live out one day before she goes grey and arthritic and can't remember what she daydreamed about. We all have these fantasies. Thoughts in our minds we are too ashamed or embarrassed to talk about. This book is for all those who feel guilty for being aroused and bewitched by erotica. You are not alone. This book is for all those who love erotica. You are not alone. This book is for all those who are curious about sex and who don't know how to talk about it. I've done it for you. It is to be left for others on train seats and in telephone boxes, park benches and bus stops and in the waiting rooms buried in secret underneath the Car, Vogue and Gardeners World magazines....

Biographie:
books and maps, wellies and walking boots, tea and M&M's, a teeny bed, a reading lamp and her favourite music - classical, jazz and good ole country tunes. She spends her days weeding and pruning, sowing and mowing, strimming and picking produce for the restaurant at the top of the garden. She spends her free time, reading and writing, fantasising and dreaming, playing scrabble on her own, pottering, pondering and taking herself for long walks in the English countryside. She is both an introvert and an extrovert. She likes people but secretly loves wildlife more. She loves dancing in the kitchen and yoga at 5 am and 3 am writing with a cigarillo and the windows open and Night, kissing her fingers and lapping at her skin. Her greatest love is writing for you. Her greatest dream is that you love what she writes....

Sommaire:
She's 39 and is a garden nymph, born to Maltese parents, brought up in the Canadian countryside and at the age of 21, emigrated to that charming island called England that nourished in her a desire for dirty knees and walking books and English grammar. Married for 24 years and having raised four delightful children, she now lives at the bottom of a 17th century walled garden in a ditty little garden shed filled with all her loves...
