Wealthy businessman and owner of Draper Estates, Ewan Draper needs a wife to give him the respectability demanded by polite Boston society. He’s drawn to the newest of his mill girls, the wild and passionate Lilliane, and arranges a hasty marriage.

But when Lilly’s enjoyment of sex is diagnosed as nymphomania, an affliction that, it is claimed, will send her mad if left untreated, Ewan’s good friend, Dr Phillip Samms, devises a radical cure. A cure that only leaves Lilly wanting more …

This lightly, barely erotic book is not a romance, and it is nowhere near a finished story. The main characters are married couple Ewan and Lilliane and Ewan’s medical doctor friend, Phillip. Side characters include a French Canadian maid and friend of Lilliane and Ewan’s butler James. And almost all of the action occurs at Ewan’s Draper Estates.

The story seems to be a lite and partial take on the movie “Hysteria” that tells of Mortimer Granville creating the first vibrator. It’s a story about dealing with Lilliane’s “affliction” with the help of Phillip in order to avoid institutionalizing her. The only potentially problematic aspect of the story is the question of whether or not Lilliane’s “treatment” causes her emotional and/or mental distress that’s really harmful. In the end, that’s in the eye of the beholder and might bother some listeners.

The story ends very abruptly and without any sense of closure. But it is a good story that is told well. It’s not a rehash of the old, which is great. It flows well, makes sense, is plausible on the extreme side of life, and the narrator does a fine job with it.

Don’t look to this story for pristine adherence to Victorian language. But, from my little knowledge, the story seems to do a very good job of adhering to the social and marital views of that time as it pertains to females and marriage, especially. I hope part 2 of this story will come to Audible.

Interesting lightly erotic take on vintage female
