RACHEL DAX’S LATEST BOOK IS OUT NOW!
In Isolation is a book of monologues recounting the life stories of four British octogenarian women from very different backgrounds. Each monologue explores LGBT experiences, as well as women’s relationships to men and wider society.
Frank and unflinching, In Isolation discusses love, sex, sexuality and gender in a way that both challenges and affirms.
