However, while <em>Six Degrees<\/em> represents a departure from Brown\u2019s earlier work, the storytelling is equally good.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-8016 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Six-Degrees.jpg?resize=362%2C560\" alt=\"Six-Degrees\" width=\"362\" height=\"560\" \/>In reality, <em>Six Degrees<\/em> is made up of several different stories, connected by six degrees of separation. These are stories about sex \u2013 they are passionate, even erotic \u2013 but don\u2019t expect a <em>50 Shades of Grey-<\/em>style book filled with unattainable characters and unbelievable situations. These are real people \u2013 people working in bars, cafes, fathers, mothers, widows, young and old \u2013 exploring their sexuality and sexual attraction in everyday situations. The stories are bold and authentic, surprising and even tender.<\/p>\n<p>Each story can be seen as a vignette into one person\u2019s experience of sexual attraction, but in as much as they stand alone, they also connect via small details, be they relationships or situations. Brown cleverly brings the story as a whole full circle, with the final story linking back to the first in a subtle, almost blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it way. Of course, what also binds all the stories is the characters\u2019 shared desire for connection with another person, which is something most of us is able to empathise with.<\/p>\n<p>The rural settings (there are several) has led to the book being labelled a rural romance, but since the novel is less about romance and more about sexual attraction, I\u2019m less inclined to categorise it that way. Nor does it need to be \u2013 it stands as a strong piece of contemporary fiction without labels.<\/p>\n<p>I read this book in one sitting, completely drawn in by Brown\u2019s honest storytelling, interesting and believable characters, and her insight into what is one of the fundamental aspects of the human experience.<\/p>\n<p><em>Six Degrees<\/em> is available from good bookstores.
