Martha in Paris: A Novel | Margery Sharp
1 post | 4 to read
A young woman sent to Paris to study painting learns lessons about life and love in Margery Sharps sparkling novel that features the now-grown-up artistic little girl who first appeared in The Eye of Love Eighteen-year-old Martha is blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime: an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris to study where some of the worlds greatest painters lived and worked. Despite her single-minded pursuit of creativity, she attracts an admirer in the City of Light. It isnt a debonair Frenchman who seduces her, but a homesick British bank clerk who offers her all the creature comforts of home. And when an unexpected complication arises, Martha deals with the consequences in her usual sensible, independent fashion. Witty, tender, and richly evocative of late 1940s Paris, Martha in Paris is a beguiling portrait of the artist as a young woman as she learns the facts of life.

Martha in Paris: A Novel | Margery Sharp

"Every artist being in some degree bisexual, Martha possessed the faculty commonly supposed reserved to males of disassociating pleasure from sentiment."

If you like your sex scenes on the crisp and dry side, Margery Sharp is for you.

Lola Crisp and dry are not two words I usually associate with sex scenes- but they did inspire me to open a bottle of white to go with my evening read 🙃 (edited) 8y
