2015年5月30日Book recommendations for the mature woman
40+, very intelligent heroine (very sexual being, and VERY SEXY. and has as much sex onscreen as you can have in an R rated movie). Movie is very story and plot driven; it’s mostly about her relationships with her son and her young lover.
(You’ll find a very similar heroine in Cholodenko’s previous movie, High Art the sex in High Art is all Black Watersnake Maggie 140mm lesbian if it matters.)

Second the Outlander books; in fact, if I remember right, the heroine is about a decade older than her hero, and by Gold Glitter Maggie 140mm the end of the set, she’s in her 50s at least.
They’re Black Leather Maggie 140mm absolutely great. Very, very funny. And the heroine’s teenage kid and career as a doctor play a big role.

The "Hammered" trilogy by Elizabeth Bear is fantastic science fiction about a 50 year old female combat veteran, not rich or beautiful no kids, but lots of responsibilities. and the sex is occasional, but really hot.

In sci fi, Marrow by Richard Reed has strong, immortal female characters whose great age gives thm great experience and wisdom, and at least one of whom has very hot sex. It’s a long time since I read it.
There are also some strong, sexy 40+ female characters in the Iain M Banks Culture novels.

Atwood’s, The Handmaid’s Tale? It’s a little on the dark, SF side but I consider it a classic. It was also a great movie.

I feel like I may get beaten about the head and face for this, but there’s always Atlas Shrugged.

Benford’s Cosm stars a woman who is not gorgeous, wealthy, or famous. She is a scientist, though. And she might be in her 30s, not 40s.

Maybe the first few of Bujold’s Miles Vorkosigan books? The ones before Miles is born, and while he’s a wee tot? She ends up being famous, though.

Dagny is in her mid 30s at the oldest, is always described as incredibly gorgeous, she’s wealthy, and the sex scenes are creepy, not hot.
