  Nikki Gemmel Monday 21 July 2003  
When author Nikki Gemmel decided she wanted to write what she really thought about sex in marriage and adultery, she realised she could only really tell it like it is if she didn't put her name to it.

But her anonymity didn't last long and soon the content of the book was the source of great debate in the press as to how much was autobiographical.
Nikki Gemmel joins Jenni to talk about how her husband reacted to the book and whether she wishes she could have remained anonymous.
'The Bride Stripped Bare' is published by Fourth Estate; ISBN: 0007163533.
