‘This book is a deep, sensual plunge, a worship of the body, inside and out’ The TimesIn a quiet English suburb, a love affair ignites.

With its witty and masterful prose, Written on the Body takes the reader on a beguiling and defying exploration of love and its physical forms.’An ambitious work, at once a love story and a philosophical meditation on the body’ Sunday Telegraph

Part love story, part philosophical treatise, part anatomical guide, Written on the Body defies categorisation, dispensing with clichés and stereotypes to forge, from the raw physicality of the body itself, a new language for love.
