{"product_id":"9780007319947_wetlands","title":"Wetlands","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith her jaunty dissection of the sex life and the private grooming habits of the novel's 18-year-old narrator, Helen Memel, Charlotte Roche has turned the previously unspeakable into the national conversation in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince its debut in February, the novel (\"Feuchtgebiete,\" in German) has sold more than a million copies, and is the biggest selling book on Amazon anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a headlong dash through every crevice and byproduct, physical and psychological, of its narrator's body and mind. It is difficult to overstate the raunchiness of the novel. Wetlands opens in a hospital room after an intimate shaving accident. It gives a detailed topography of Helen's hemorrhoids, continues into the subject of anal intercourse and only gains momentum from there, eventually reaching avocado pits as objects of female sexual satisfaction and – here is where the debate kicks in – just possibly female empowerment. Clearly the novel has struck a nerve, catching a wave of popular interest in renewing the debate over women's roles and image in society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlotte Roche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47275054891157,"sku":"9780007319947","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007319947.png?v=1776776298","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007319947_wetlands","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
