Wanted to read something different to my usual choices in literature. I was worried about reading a history book as I thought it would be quite dense, but Kate Lister wrote an enjoyable, informative book about a topic I wasn’t very familiar with. If you’re looking for an overview of the history of prostitution then this is a great choice.
