Fifty Shades of Grey

Seattle

Even though Fifty Shades of Grey was written by a Brit, it is set in American Seattle, but beyond that, it took a female Brit to reveal a hidden, deep- seated American secret about romantic dominance and submission. Yes, a stuffy class conscious Brit uncovering what Yanks actually crave in secret, as a loving expression, despite American society's public Puritanical posture. Indeed, American women flocking to book signings - quite contrary to standard views of feminism. Finally in the American 21st century, anything goes in being bound.
