'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; 'A brave book written from personal experience that offers us much-needed hope in the victory of life over death' Faruk Sehic, author of Under Pressure and Quiet Flows the Una; 'The writing is intimate - patient, sensory, murky - a portrait of consciousness under duress.' Stacy Mattingly, Literary Hub; 'Nobody has written about the female body in our language like Senka Maric.' Sasa Dragojlo, Noizz; 'Gentle and combative, sad but not at all pathetic, it is an unusually strong narrative about weakness.' Vladislava Gordic Petkovic, Bosnian scholar
