Reviews
A stunning critique of the ethics of both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, offering radical alternatives from those 'spies in the house of love' who occupy the spaces in between. Deftly weaving together personal stories and political analysis, Mistress Ethics is a courageous, compelling, and - above all - deeply kind book. * Meg-John Barker, Author of "Life Isn't Binary: On Being Both, Beyond, and In-Between" *
An original, radical book. Academically rigorous, yet an entertaining read. It dares to start a new conversation about an experience previously unexplored in philosophy and to humanise instead of judge. * Andy West, Author of "The Life Inside: A Memoir of Prison, Philosophy and Family" *
Brooks offers a stepping stone along the path towards a more sexually flexible future. While the book does not convince that cheating will ever be right, this is a fascinating look into a demonized archetype in sexuality. * Stoya, Actress and Writer, Author of "Philosophy, Pussycats, and Porn" *
