'A very erotic book and profoundly liberating' - Alice Walker
When Anaïs Nin met the writer Henry Miller, a man she thought of as an intellectual giant, and his beautiful wife June Mansfield, her life was plunged into emotional and sexual turmoil. Her passionate involvement with both of them, which contrasted profoundly with her arrachment to her husband Hugo, led to an inner conflict she was unable to resolve without help. Henry and June is the account, taken from her diaries, of this thrilling but impossible tangle of relationships and of Anaïs Nin's personal and sexual awakening.
