Die "Unaussprechlichen"

In meinem neuen Buch geht es um die Viktorianische Ära - es ist ein Ratgeber, wie Frauen sich zu Kleiden und zu Benehmen haben, und es geht um die Ehe und um Sex. Ich habe bisher erst ein Kapitel gelesen, was man damals alles Anziehen musste, beginnend von Unterwäsche, Korsett, Unterhosen, Unterröcken etc. bis man endlich zum Kleid kam. Bisher gefällt es mir sehr gut, und ich finde es total interessant.
 
Mein neues Buch:

Therese ONEILL
Unmentionable
The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage and Manners

Description: Have you ever wished you could live in an earlier, more romantic era? Ladies, welcome to the 19th century, where there's arsenic in your face cream, a pot of cold pee sits under your bed, and all of your underwear is crotchless. (Why? Shush, dear. A lady doesn't question.)

UNMENTIONABLE is your hilarious, scandalously honest (though never crass), illustrated guide to life as a Victorian lady, offering detailed advice on:

~ What to wear
~ Where to relieve yourself
~ How to conceal your loathsome addiction to menstruating
~ What to expect on your wedding night
~ How to be the perfect Victorian wife
~ Why masturbating will kill you
~ And more

Irresistibly charming, laugh-out-loud funny, and featuring nearly 200 images from Victorian publications, UNMENTIONABLE will inspire a whole new level of respect for Elizabeth Bennett, Scarlet O'Hara, Jane Eyre, and all of our great, great grandmothers.

(And it just might leave you feeling ecstatically grateful to live in an age of pants, super absorbency tampons, epidurals, anti-depressants, and not-dying-of-the-syphilis-your-husband-brought-home.)
