My Secret Life is an explicit memoir of unspoken desires in the
English class system, encapsulating the joy of hidden sins in
an age of moral fervour.
ONly six copies were initially printed in 1888. Attempts to
republish the book resulted in the novel being repeatedly banned.
Claiming to have slept with 1200 women from 27 countries, Walter
is often referred to as the 'English Casanova' although the
author's true identity still remains a mystery.
