Henry and June is drawn from the original, uncensored journals of Anaïs Nin, spanning a single year in her life. During this period, she discovers both love and torment in an insatiable couple. From late 1931 to the end of 1932, Nin falls in love with Henry Miller's writing and his wife June's striking beauty.

When June leaves Paris for New York, Henry and Anaïs begin a fiery affair that liberates her sexually and morally, but also undermines her marriage and eventually leads her into psychoanalysis. As she grapples with her own conscience, a single question dominates her thoughts: What will happen when June returns to Paris?

This is an intimate account of one woman's sexual awakening, exposing the pain and pleasure felt by someone trapped between two loves.
