What A Great Title...

Not a novel I'm interested in, but I love the title:
"Agnes Sorel: The Breast And Crotch That Changed History"

Oh, that's almost irresistible!

The cover art is quite impressive too.

Is it that portrait where one of her mammary glands has migrated in the direction of her shoulder?

No. It's not a portrait; it's a rear view of a model. Emphasis on rear.

Which is ironic, cause the book is not called "The Breast and Rear That Changed History".

That's a singularly unappealing title, I have to say, though it does grab your attention as it's no doubt meant to do!

I think this Fouquet portrait of Agnes as the Madonna is the one MLE has in mind. There's something seriously skewed about her anatomy, and we can't put it down to botched plastic surgery

I love those little angels which look as if they've gone to the dark side!

You could drive a car through the gap between her bosoms!

I wouldn't call that title great. Eye-catching definitely.

Which 'Breast' was that one actually; the left or the right? Or perhaps the pointy one or the not-so-pointy one?? Purely academic interest on my part as you can imagine! Heh Misfit???

I'll leave (at least directly) the 'crotch' alone!
