Just a comment - Changez' intimate episode with Erica reads like it was written by a man. There's an suggestions that her "shudder" means that she either needed, wanted, or benefited from the experience. I think the fact that her orgasm is even mentioned here reads like it was written with a certain insensitivity to women. Benefit or desire should really be written as emotional benefit or emotional desire rather than physical.

I don't know--I read it as more of an acknowledgement that she had an orgasm, that she was fulfilled on some level, whereas when they first tried, she wasn't even aroused to sufficiently let Changez in. Thus, I think the fact that it's written as "shudder" alludes to the damaging effects this strange lovemaking is going to have on them.
