Feedback
Vanessa is one of life's natural polymaths: she acts, she dances, she writes and a lot more... And she does it all with great panache and a finely tuned instinct for the viscera, the inner turmoil, the bodily pleasures - and horrors. As a publisher, it was her writing that caught my eye: sheer, gutsy unadorned prose that dives on her subject like a morsel in the eye of a bird of prey... Australian Historian

Vanessa de Largie's wonderful fierce and tender sexuality reminds me of Anais Nin's: she's a woman who doesn't deny her body and her desires but follows them unafraid and rejoicing. These days this sincerity makes her a truly refreshing voice - and a happy one to find.
