The debut novel from the author of Strong Female Character is a study of modern medical misogyny, as a woman whose chronic pain is ignored by doctors seeks ever more extreme remedies. Fern Brady's debut novel explores bodily autonomy, medical misogyny and the repercussions of what happens when your internal world is suffocated. It questions who owns our bodies - if we don't?

M is a woman suffering with chronic pain. She has been for as long as she can remember. No one can see it. So, no one believes it. Desperately seeking relief for the pain no one wants to treat she turns to a series of increasingly unorthodox treatments to find a cure.
