Just got an interesting search term on my blog:

philippa gregory sex butter lard

Don't recall a sex scene involving butter or lard in any of the ones I've read. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

I want to say 'The Wise Woman' but it's been a long time since I've read it so I could be wrong. There were definitely some strange scenes in that book, I really disliked it with a passion!

I'm half-way through The Wise Woman and haven't come across such a scene yet. I'll check back later though . . .

I am quite curious about that one, Looby, because I've read so many mixed reviews!

It's a book that provokes quite strong reactions I think, you either like it or loathe it

The first half is definitely the best Wendy! Do keep us posted, I look forward to reading what you think

I would have suggested WW too, though can't remember all the gory and/or greasy details now as i read it when it first came out. I do remember there was quite a lot of creative sex involving a threesome, though.

I think instead of butter, the icky substance was wax. Lots and lots of wax. I couldn't look at a candle for weeks after reading that book.

Lol! I should have remembered that-- the main character had a thing about wax, didn't she? All those wax dolls...

I read The Wise Woman a few years ago, so can't remember all the details. I do remember the wax dolls, though! And some of the sex scenes were quite graphic. I enjoyed the story, however.
