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
