More about the book
Set in the 17th century, "Sexing the Cherry" celebrates the power of the imagination as it playfully juggles with our perception of history and reality. This is the story of Jordan, an orphan found floating on the River Thames, and his keeper, The Dog Woman, a huge and monstrous creature with a powerful right hook and a wide vocabulary. It is a story about love and sex; lies and truths; and, twelve dancing princesses who lived happily ever after, but not with their husbands.
