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 HEART
For 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.
Alive is a captivating investigation into our organs and the role they play in the stories of our lives. In Weston’s hands, a fuller and more human picture of our bodies emerges – more fragile, frightening and miraculous than we could ever have imagined.
‘An exceptional, absorbing tour of human life and bodies’
Chris van Tulleken, author of ULTRA-PROCESSED PEOPLE
‘Filled with fascinating facts’ Daily Telegraph
‘A pitch-perfect book’ Christie Watson, author of THE LANGUAGE OF KINDNESS
‘A book of wonder’ Sarah Moss, author of SUMMERWATER
