Praise for Salt on my Skin
‘A leading French feminist and writer, Groult drew wide attention with this sexually daring novel’
The New York Times
‘A 1988 bestseller hailed for its frank descriptions of female sexual desire’
Variety Magazine
‘This book is delightful for its frequently beautiful prose, and appealing for how it deals with controversial subjects: abortion, female subjugation, and sexism in language.’
PW
‘A novel full of tenderness and sensuality, and at the same time a portrait of a free, independent woman who is true to her feelings.’
LOVELYBOOKS
‘This beautifully written, elegant, moving, and sensual novel convinces the reader that a love story like this is possible. I closed it with a tear in my eye. Halfway between a classic romance and erotica, without ever flowing over on to one side or the other, Salt on my Skin is a magnificent universe of wonderfully truthful and shameless words’
Livrogne
‘A literary masterpiece that shines with insolent brightness’
The Evening Standard
‘Benoîte Groult accepts the challenge of describing sex and pleasure from a female perspective—the difficulty that she consciously and conscientiously faces is to rewrite the precise manifestations of female desire with neither vulgarity nor ridicule’
CATHERINE SLAWY-SUTTON, in The Contemporary Novel in France
‘A frank, no-nonsense writer resolved to claim her “place on the battlefield of feminism.”’
Kirkus
‘Groult’s writing is alert, ironic, and frank’
L’Express
‘This is a novel about physical lust and female sexuality. It is a portrait of a modern and independent woman who embraces her sexuality, knows what she wants, and is not afraid to take it’
My Inner Goddess
‘Sexy, chatty, and full of shrewd insight’
Other Press
‘A hot passionate togetherness’
Free Verse in Review
‘A very ‘real’ story—full of real sex, not idealised ‘swinging from the chandeliers’ sex—that spans the years’
Anglophones.fr
‘Salt on my Skin belongs to the classics of erotic literature’
De Volkskrant
‘One of the most important writers of contemporary France’
Ze.nl
‘From today’s perspective, Salt on my Skin may seem like a chaste predecessor of “Fifty Shades of Gray”—however, this bestseller by Benoîte Groult likely kickstarted the whole women’s-book wave of the 1990s’
Die Welt
‘A hymn to desire, to physical passion, and to the exacerbation of the senses. Groult’s writing is sensual, realistic, and sensitive, with a wonderful sense of humor and lucid, fascinating reflections on love and old age’
Babelio
