A profound and provocative journey through the human body. ‘Gripping…bold, humane’ Guardian‘Sings from the page’ Rachel Clarke, author of THE STORY OF A HEARTFor Gabriel Weston, there was always something missing from the anatomy she was taught at medical school. As she became a surgeon, a mother and then a patient herself, she grew increasingly fascinated by the gap between the body she understood as a doctor and the messy reality of living in one.
