The Wild Oats Project. Mein wildes Jahr, englische Ausgabe

More about the book

The project was simple: Robin Rinaldi, a successful magazine journalist, would move into a San Francisco apartment, join a dating site, and embrace a life of sexual exploration. Despite being married for eighteen years and already owning a beautiful flat nearby, Rinaldi felt a shift when her husband opted for a vasectomy, which led her to reconsider her priorities as she approached midlife. With the desire for children slipping away, she resolved to seek out lovers. During the week, she lived alone, engaging in passionate encounters, attending erotic workshops, and exploring her sexuality, while returning home on weekends to fulfill her role as a wife. This memoir chronicles a year filled with abandon, heartbreak, and self-discovery, as Rinaldi navigates the complexities of love, desire, and identity. In a landscape where books about eroticism and evolving female roles dominate bestseller lists, this candid account delves into how sexuality shapes us and intersects with maternal instincts. It challenges societal norms and reveals universal truths about the balance between loving others and remaining authentic to oneself, much like the most impactful memoirs that resonate deeply with readers.
