di Gabriel Weston (Autore)

Vintage Publishing, 2025

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 ultimately a patient herself, she found herself grappling with the gap between the body she understood as a doctor, and the reality of living in one. In this captivating exploration of our bodily organs, a fuller and more human picture of our bodies emerges: more fragile, frightening and miraculous than we could 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
