A young woman, Magdalena, has been disappointed in love. As she states: "There is nothing more dangerous than a woman whose longing for love has been unremittingly disappointed. " In fact, her relationships with men have been so devastating that she has had to kill most of them. In need of absolution (though she seems hardly repentant) she kidnaps a priest, ties him to a tree and begins her long tale of adventure and her search for true love. Although the first 70 pages were a bit rough, once the story got moving, I found it quite a good read, even humorous. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Written with pace, humor, and startling literary allusion, Lilian Faschinger's novel is the story of the sensual Magdalena, who, disguised in a nun's habit, kidnaps a priest at gunpoint and drives him in the sidecar of her Puch motorbike to a remote forest clearing where she ties him to a tree. What she is about to confess to him is profoundly shocking: All Magdalena wanted was to find true love. What she found instead was a string of lovers who each made the fatal mistake of disappointing her. From a Latin dance instructor who uses a metronome to help him keep his rhythm in bed to a Ukrainian who plays mental chess games at the gravesite of former grandmaster Alexander Alekhine, Magdalena's men all lost their lives when they no longer satisfied her; perishing by her hand through poison, drowning, and incineration.A head-on collision between Church and sex, Magdalena the Sinner interweaves highly charged erotica with modern views on Catholicism, feminism, and the tensions between men and women.

Magdalena has lived an eventful life and finds that it is time to confess. To make sure that she has the undivided attention, she decides the best way to do that is to simply abduct a priest. So she grabs priest Christian, brings him to a remote location, ties him to a tree and tells him about her life with seven different men and the ends they found - at her hand.
I liked a lot about Magdalena Sünderin, but the book never really won me over completely. I would have liked to like it more.
