Beatrice is the story of a young girl who is initiated into the pleasures and pains of the flesh by an older woman who is both uninhibitedly liberal and the strictest of disciplinarians, to both of which instincts she gives what we can only call full rein. At first beaten into submission, her ingénue pupil then submits willingly to being beaten into pleasure. She narrates the story of her initiation in explicit, not to say painful, not to say exquisite, detail in the course of which her growing enthusiasm for a variety of erotic pleasures, including heterosexual ones, is whipped up.
