Fans of Anais Nin's work have plenty to look forward to with 'Little Birds', a TV adaptation of Anais Nin's collection of erotic short stories, which will soon premiere on Starz. The six-episode series follows New York heiress Lucy Savage (Juno Temple) as she and her husband (Hugh Skinner) move to Tangier in 1955 and Lucy discovers that marriage is not what she thought it would be. 

But while 'Little Birds' is a period drama, the topics it deals with are just as relevant today, as Lucy Savage played to what seems perfection by Juno Temple aims to forge her own path to fulfillment, even if she is in a loveless marriage to her closeted husband. If 'Little Birds' sounds interesting to you, perhaps another Starz show 'Vida' will also interest you.
