A Spy in the House of Love
the novel follows Sabina, a woman who dares to explore her feminine sexuality in search of true love. as she remembers her various love interests, she feels guilty of her lifestyle, torn between the yearning to pursuit her desires and the strain to sustain her relationship with her husband, Alan, her "security blanket", who she feels she has to protect. the writing style was poetic and melancholic, while the narrative device was stream of consciousness, which is a technique that i absolutely adore. however, i couldn't sympathize with the main character and at times i would get bored and/or frustrated by her thoughts. the story itself didn't appeal to me as much as the plot summary did. all in all, i really wanted to like this book and i am sad and disappointed that it didn't happen.
