“A raw and moving book, written in exquisite, taut prose, which explores illness and healing through an inventive, kaleidoscopic narrative.” – Sam Mills, author of Chauvo-Feminism and The Fragments of My Father
“As a revelatory account of illness, the novel stands alongside Anne Boyer and Audre Lorde, while the sensuous intelligence of the prose, in Celia Hawkesworth’s astonishing translation, reminded me of Virginia Woolf. It’s a wonderful book.” – Caleb Klaces, author of Fatherhood
“The writing is intimate — patient, sensory, murky — a portrait of consciousness under duress.” – Stacy Mattingly, Literary Hub
‘It’s a beautiful, tender and moving exploration of illness and healing.You know when you read a book and wished that you’d written it? This is that book for me.‘ – Nataliya Deleva, author of Arrival
