商品簡介 |
| In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what its been like to live in her womans body, and toreach the realisationthat all that time shed spent trying to change herbody to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely differentperspective.By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot togetherfrom period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters.So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was a nuisance, she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime.One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is into be grateful for her body and all that it does and is. |
