Publisher description
The Spy Who Loved Me is the ninth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published in 1962. It is the shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, as well as a clear departure from previous Bond novels in that the story is told in the first person by a young Canadian woman, Vivienne Michel. Bond himself does not appear until two-thirds of the way through the book. Fleming wrote a prologue to the novel giving Michel credit as a co-author.Due to the reactions by critics and fans, Fleming was not happy with the book and attempted to suppress elements of it where he could: he blocked a paperback edition in the United Kingdom and only gave permission for the title to be used when he sold the film rights toHarry SaltzmanandAlbert R. Broccoli, rather than any aspects of the plots. However, the character ofJawsis loosely based on one of the characters in the book, and a British paperback edition was published after his death
