Decadent Smut: Christina’s Search, 1978

AN EROTIC VOYAGE INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS OF ECSTASY AND POSSESSION. Beautiful heiress Christina van Bell embarks on a delicious odyssey in search of the meaning and significance of her pleasure-sated life. Her worldwide journey develops into undreamed-of adventures in Africa, Haiti, Ibiza and other far-flung and exotic places, and Christina is voluptuously--and eagerly--entwined in the ultimate glories of passionate excess.

Damn fine holiday listening material
