Sexing the Cherry cover

Rescued by the Dog-Woman, a giant strong enough to fling an elephant into the air, their lives together will take them on a dizzying journey through space and time.

As past and present collapse and centuries overlap, love, sex, truth, lies and twelve dancing princesses take centre stage.


'Entrancing...fabulous...

'A book of innocence and bawdiness, fury and joy...needs to be read and re-read' The Times


On the banks of the Thames a baby is found floating. Rescued by the Dog-Woman, a giant strong enough to fling an elephant into the air, their lives together will take them on a dizzying journey through space and time.

As past and present collapse and centuries overlap, love, sex, truth, lies and twelve dancing princesses take centre stage.
