BAMBOO ISLAND [Olympia Classic]

Julia is offered what appears to be the job of her dreams: governess to two children on an idyllic island. But the reality is frightening and dangerous. Cynthia, the children's mother, rules the island with a rod of bamboo. All infringements of her orders, real or imagined, are severely punished, sometimes at the whipping post with everyone watching, sometimes in private, with sex as the final indignity. But Cynthia has her own dark need for suffering and lesbian love. Indeed, everyone on the island has an insatiable hunger for pleasure laced with pain. 127 pp.
