Lucy Grealy offers an unvarnished account of her childhood battle with cancer, vividly capturing both her medical ordeal and her evolving perception of self.
The vividness of childhood innocence contrasts dramatically with the brutal realities of illness as Grealy recalls, 'I had never known it was possible to feel your organs...'
In her memoir, Grealy’s poignant observations reflect both the alienation and transformation she experiences, compellingly illustrated by her encounters with people like 'Big bad Dr. Woolf!'.
Grealy's descriptions profoundly reveal her journey through childhood cancer treatment, interweaving the allure of hospital life with the relentless anguish of chemotherapy.
