Wetlands (German: Feuchtgebiete) is Charlotte Roche's debut novel. Partly autobiographical, it was first published in German in 2008 by M. DuMont Schauberg and was the world's best-selling novel in March 2008. For supporters it is a piece of erotic literature; according to critics it is cleverly marketed pornography. It was published in English as Wetlands by Grove Press in April 2009.
The title, which might be translated as "wetlands" or "damp areas", here refers to a woman's genitals.
