Description
A long love story that, like any love and sex story that doesn't bother to end, becomes more and more complex and captivating.
Summary of The Ages of Lulu:
Lulú, a fifteen-year-old girl still immersed in the anxieties of a childhood without affection, succumbs to the attraction exerted on her by a young man, a family friend, whom she had until then vaguely desired. After this first experience, Lulú, the eternal child, spends years alone nurturing the spirit of this man, who finally accepts the challenge of continuing the love game of childhood indefinitely in their peculiar sexual relationship. He creates for her a world of her own, a private universe in which time loses its value.
But the risky spell of life outside of reality is suddenly interrupted one day when Lulú, now thirty years old, falls helplessly but feverishly into the hell of dangerous desires.
