Evocative and superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.

Honestly, I was expecting more subtlety and beautiful prose. Maybe it’s just dated, but it felt trite. I had the impression I was reading stories that were written to fit cultural expectations of what men think women want when it comes to sex. I just don’t think her stories are evolved or groundbreaking at all. Plus there is definitely an undercurrent of rape and pedophilia. Not real sexy IMO.
Not a complete waste of time, but underwhelming...
