Benoite Groult's most pioneering and best-loved work follows the passionate relationship between a pair of mismatched lovers - a Parisian intellectual and a Breton fisherman - brought together by lust. Through love-letters and exotic encounters around the world, their life-long affair evolves, liberating them from the restrictions and disappointments of everyday life. Thirty years after its initial appearance, this beautifully written erotic evergreen feels as fresh as ever with its unconventional, lighthearted, and carefree picture of female sexuality.
By her own account, Beno te Groult was a late-bloomer as an author and feminist. She was in her 40's when she first began writing and in her 50's when she embraced feminism. She immediately proved to be a prolific writer and an ardent activist. She wrote Salt on my Skin when she was 65. Married four times, she died in 2016 aged 96.
