Author Dr Philippa Kaye is both your GP and your friend, who believes everyone has a right to know their body.

Breasts: An owner's guide won't just help you to better understand your body, it might even change your life.
What's striking, reading this fact-stuffed book - the first in a "body literacy library" series - are the many small pockets of misinformation that persist and how profoundly they can affect usBra sizing is absurdly confusing, and 80 per cent of women wear poorly fitting bras. Kaye offers pages of guidance. -- Anna Maxted * The Times *
