Exactly how steamy is this story?
R
The Book of the City of Ladies starts out pretty prim and proper, but the third book gets into more than a dozen stories about rape and sex that aren't all that appropriate for people under a certain age.
It's not really right to call it steamy, since the sex that comes up in this book is definitely not the enjoyable kind. But in any case, you'll want to brace yourself for some of the stuff in Book III especially… and maybe think twice about reading this as a bedtime story to any burgeoning feminists you might be babysitting.
