When I was in London last summer, I asked (on Twitter) for recommendations of indie bookshops in London. Someone recommended the bookshop, The Second Shelf, in Soho. A tiny gem of a bookshop in a courtyard in the heart of Soho. Outside the shop is a blackboard easel with two words etched onto it, “read women.” I could have spent my life savings on books there but I opted for 3 books. This book was one of them.
