Lucy Cooke's "Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal." Brilliant. Rewrites Darwin as a Victorian pater-familias who thought it was the peacock who did all the decision-taking rather than the peahen. And she's a good writer - a page-turner, even on a deckchair in the sun wi a Campari n the other hand. I wish.
If you enjoyed Bonjour Tristesse as a summer read then I recommend Theatre for dreamers by Polly Sampson. After reading that last summer I am now reading Peel me a Lotus by Charmian Clift.

That's been on my shelf for too long! I'll get it down this summer
