Toni's new book, The Surrender is a memoir devoted to anal sex. She has managed to intellectualise the subject as only the French might, introducing an array of passions in a most entertaining style. For example, whole pages are devoted to her enthusiasm for the various makes of split-crotch panties. She vividly describes some delicious sex scenes and we get a picture of someone very young and lovely, if at times refreshingly narcissistic by British standards, learning everything there is to know about anal sex.
