Our September non-fiction book of the month is Wendy Jones' intriguing study of what sex really means to English women today. In this book she delves into the most intimate lives of 24 women from diverse backgrounds. There's Charlotte, the 43 year old gynaecologist, Samantha the 28 year old burlesque dancer, Olive the 35 year old nun and Mary the 94 year old ("I was absolute trollope when I was a landgirl"). Each interviewee opens up and detail the most intimate details of their sex lives and fantasies. The result is a fascinating read.

If you fancy reading The Sex Lives of English Women apply for a free copy - We have 50 up for grabs - then come back to this thread and let us know what you thought. Author Wendy Jones (also biographer of Grayson Perry - Portrait of an Artist) will be taking Qs about the book, so do post up your questions here before the end of September.

@Ginkypig

Hi.

How will people be contacted?

All those who have been allocated books have been notified by email this morning (sorry for the delay). If you haven't been lucky, do have a look at the Serpent's Tail offer as this makes the book much cheaper than Amazon Smile.

I absolutely loved this book and thought it was very empowering to read. The women don't just talk about their sex lives but everything, such as their family and experiences which brought them towards thinking about sex the way that they do. Would definitely recommend.
