''
The book is written as two (very long) letters from one middle-aged rich Englishwoman named Frances "Fanny" Hill to another woman
This novel was (and to a point still is) highly controversial, to say the less - despite being on the conventional morality of the era (that frowned on homosexuality and vice and approved only of heterosexual relationships based in mutual love), its depicted sexual politics were extremely against what was considered the proper conduct for women at the time, and Fanny's [[Happy Ending]] marked her a [[Karma Houdini]] for the standards of the era. It is considered one of the most prosecuted and banned books in history: it was banned in the United States until 1966.
