La Bâtard - Violette Leduc

I'm about halfway through this book right now so if you order it we can read it together. There is a "sex" scene early in this book that is so flowery, poetic, and beautiful I hesitate to call it a sex scene. Violette describes her life from childhood to adulthood, episodically through ser beautifully in this novel. Beautifully enough to be compared to Genet and discovered by Simone de Beauvoir, who did the foreward.
