Folies D'Amour: More Erotic Memoirs of Paris in the 1920's

This book, like all others from this now deceased author were translated from French in the 1980's from memoirs that recently became public. Anne Marie's books have been translated into many many languages and are timeless in their appeal and eroticism. Based mainly on the authors', or her friends real life, and somewhat embellished experiences, I understand that she wrote these books for her own personal erotic gratification. What a marvellous stroke of luck that many of the memoirs have come to light for us to enjoy. Most, if not all of the authors books deal with games of life and love that the decadent wealthly played incessantly in Paris during the 1920's. The theme of many of the stories seem to invariably involve beautifull and wealthy society women, which, I must say, pretty well have the morals of alley cats, and are usually on the hunt for men and erotic diversions. For the hunt to be enjoyable, the hunted should usually not be aware of the game and feel that he is the master of his own destiny, what a laugh .... most of the men really don't know what had hit them though they would be lax in admitting to themselves that they were used and abused at will ..... Many of Anne Marie V books were published in multiple book volumes such as in Scandale D'Amour, we find two very similar books titled 'Mystere D'Amour' which is 320 pages and 'Folies D'Amour' which is 248 pages in length. Both books are a compendium of short stories each with its own plot, characters and delicious stories of erotic seduction and submission. The author has an innate knack for allowing the reader to quickly identify with one or another of the characters in each story making one feel as though you are a vicarious participant. BTW Anna Marie Villafranche's prose and descriptions of love scenes can span 10 to 20 pages ... WOW ... as she is a master in drawing out those delicious sinfull moments. It's not the hump and bump of many of our contemporary authors, thats for sure .... I had some trouble finding this book and I can assure you it's not leaving my little library of erotic masterpieces any time soon .....
