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

Gabriel Weston
Rezensionen
An exceptional, beautiful and absolutely absorbing book. Gabriel Weston is one of the best writers around, and when it comes to medicine and anatomy she redefines the genre. ALIVE is a tour of human life and bodies, but she also brings her own body, in the context of her own life, into an absolutely compelling narrative; sex, pregnancy, asylum seekers, breast implants and hearts - especially the author's own heart, in every sense. It is essential reading if you own a body and should be mandatory for all those who study them. Chris van Tulleken, author of ULTRA PROCESSED PEOPLE
