For centuries past, and all across the world, there are words for a certain kind of woman. Words that raise our hackles, fire up our blood. Words that tell a story. In this blazing cauldron of a book, the boldest writers of our day take up these words and take up their pen, celebrating fifty years of Virago.

Lydia is hungry. She's always wanted to try Japanese food. Sashimi, ramen, onigiri with sour plum stuffed inside - the food her Japanese father liked to eat. And then there is bubble tea and iced-coffee, ice cream and cake, and foraged herbs and plants, and the vegetables grown by the other young artists at the London studio space she is secretly squatting in. But, Lydia can't eat any of these things. Her body doesn't work like those of other people.

Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct? In Lost Wonders conservationist and science writer Tom Lathan tells the stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.

Lydia è affamata. Ha ventitré anni da molto tempo e ha sempre voluto provare sashimi, ramen, onigiri con umeboshi… tutto quello che suo padre amava mangiare. E poi ancora gelati, torte e gli ortaggi che vengono coltivati dagli altri artisti come lei, nel complesso di loft in cui dovrebbe solo lavorare, ma in cui segretamente vive. Eppure, Lydia non può mangiare nessuna di queste cose. Il suo corpo non funziona come quello degli altri. L’unica cosa che riesce a digerire è il sangue.
