The very Anglican nature of this book means it offers no prescriptions on how to behave. Jessica Martin (pictured) is a canon of Ely Cathedral, who used to teach English at Cambridge. Sounding off isn’t her thing. Rather, this is an exploration of aspects of sexuality, and of what it is to be human.
