{"product_id":"9780007328451","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\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\u003cp\u003eCharlotte Roche, the Sunday Times bestselling author, has crafted a masterpiece in Wetlands, a bestseller that has taken the erotica fiction genre by storm. The novel has sparked a nationwide conversation in Germany, challenging societal norms and perceptions of female sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlotte Roche, Translated by Tim Mohr, Read by Emilia Fox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46889175777429,"sku":"9780007328451","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007328451.jpg?v=1776888210","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007328451","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
