A sensation in Europe on publication: an effervescent account of life as a twenty-something in Amsterdam that charts the freedoms and complications of coming out and going it alone. Meet Sofie. The history of her sexuality begins when she loses her virginity to Walter the recruitment consultant. Naturally, she thinks that things can only improve from there. But she’s wrong. It seems Sofie’s been wrong about a lot of things. First, she thought she was into men: wrong. Then, she met Frida and thought she was set for life: wrong again. Turns out, figuring out who you are, and who you like, requires a lot of trial and error. Will Sofie ever be able to untangle the impossible knot of sex, love, loneliness, family relationships and grief that constitutes a life? Does it even matter? The History of My Sexuality is a frank, funny, exuberant journey through the highs and lows of your 20s, and a story of making peace with getting it wrong again and again…
