    A los dieciséis años se tienen pocas cosas: un cuerpo que provoca perplejidades, un espejo, un diario y muchas ganas de experimentar la nostalgia de lo nunca probado: el amor. Más audaz que Lolita y más actual que Bonjour tristesse, esta novela es el relato estremecedor de una iniciación amorosa en las profundidades de una sociedad sexofóbica. Con precisión de entomólogo, Melissa P. describe encuentros que empiezan en la decepción y terminan entre desconocidos, sadomasoquismo y experiencias revulsivas. Ante sus padres sigue siendo la princesita que se cepilla el pelo cien veces antes de dormir. Contenido para lectores adultos.

    English Translation

    The Hundred Strokes

    At sixteen you own very little: a body that puzzles you, a mirror, a diary, and a fierce hunger to experience what you have never tasted—love. Bolder than Lolita and more contemporary than Bonjour tristesse, this novel is the unsettling account of a sexual awakening inside a sex-phobic society. With an entomologist's precision, Melissa P. records encounters that begin in disappointment and drift toward strangers, sadomasochism and revulsion. To her distant parents she remains the little princess who brushes her hair a hundred times before bed; to herself, a woman no man can truly know. Mature content for adult readers.
