It’s a classic of the times. I snuck it from my Mom’s book collection when I was a teen. 🙂 Of course it is pretty tame by today’s standards. LOL

I think Sidney Sheldon’s books are very similar, especially ‘The Other Side of Midnight.’

We saw the movie when we were in college. We were so into it, we had all the dialogue memorized.
