"Fifty shades of grey as told by Christian"-- Cover.

Since the publication of Fifty Shades of Grey in 2011, thousands of readers have written to James requesting Christian's POV. On the opening page of Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian, James writes, "This book is dedicated to those readers who asked and asked and asked and asked for this. In the new work, she will offer her fans the opportunity to see the world of Fifty Shades anew through the eyes of its intriguing and enigmatic protagonist. "Christian is a complex character", said James, "and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story." It's been a great pleasure to return to my happy place: writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic team at Vintage. Readers know Christian as someone who exercises control in all aspects of his life. His world is neat, disciplined, and empty: until the moment that Anastasia Steele stumbles into his office. What is it about her that captivates him? Why can't he forget her? He is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. "Fifty Shades of Grey is a love story that has enthralled readers in a way that few books have", said Vintage Books publisher and James's editor, Anne Messitte, "and when Erika mentioned to me that she wanted to explore Christian's viewpoint and re-open the story, I was incredibly excited for her and for her readers. This book has all the compelling attributes of its predecessors, and I can't wait for Fifty Shades fans to experience the work again from a perspective they have long desired"-- Publisher.
