LOCATION: Monks Yard
DESCRIPTION
“Alive” is not for the squeamish, and the chapters – Heart, Bone, Genitals, Lungs – offer plenty of detailed anatomical information. Gabriel Weston became a surgeon in 2003, a mother, and ultimately a patient herself, and grappled with the gap between the body she understood as a doctor, and the reality of living in one. Chris van Tulleken described the book as “an exceptional, absorbing tour of human life and bodies”.
