A beautiful young French woman, known only as ‘O’, is taken by her lover René to a splendid mansion near Paris.

Reviews

  • "'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity'

    Graham Greene

  • ‘A remarkable piece of work’

    Harold Pinter

  • A highly literary and imaginative work, the brilliance of whose style leaves one in no doubt whatever of the author's genius...a profoundly disturbing book, as well as a black tour-de-force

    Spectator

  • Here all kinds of terrors await us, but like a baby taking its mother's milk all pains are assuaged. Touched by the magic of love, everything is transformed. Story of O is a deeply moral homily

    J.G. Ballard
