Synopsis
Sex. The explosive little word. A word that makes us brave, true and alive. Trinidad-born Orange Prize shortlisted writer Monique Roffey wrote this startlingly honest and funny memoir that exposes her own vulnerability, examines the depths of the human heart and astounds in detail her exploits during her 40s. Roffey talks about how and why her last two novels were born from real life, history and magical realism.
