#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A collection of women's sexual fantasies from women around the world, Want is a revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women's sexuality that asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous? What do you want when no one is watching?
Who do you fantasize about when the lights are off?
When you think about sex, what do you really want? When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet so many of us don't talk about it at all. In this groundbreaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous fantasy). The fantasies are extraordinary: they are full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From fantasising about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these letters provide a window into the most secret part of our minds. Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Want makes for addictive reading ... Compelling."-- "THE GUARDIAN"
"Extremely sexy."-- "COSMOPOLITAN"
"Every human sexual desire is finally mysterious, unknowable, but there is no doubt that across the ages women's desire has been perceived as dangerous . . . Anderson allows those desires to speak."-- "FINANCIAL TIMES"
"Want is an intriguing cabinet of curiosities showcasing the sheer glorious variety of female desire; at a time when women's freedom of expression and agency is under threat in so many places, any platform that allows us to speak up about an aspect of our lives that is still frequently veiled in shame is to be applauded."-- "OBSERVER (UK)"
"You might have the same question I did: Would a book loosely patterned on an erotic bestseller published 50 years ago feel relevant in an age when every manner of sexual imagery and performance, real-life hookups and kink are available in the palm of our hands (so to speak) with a swipe, tap or text? The answer is a definitive yes."-- "WASHINGTON POST"
