THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: an uplifting account of hope and
healing by GP Gavin Francis 'I cannot think of anybody - patient or
doctor - who will not be helped by reading this short and profound
book' - Henry Marsh 'Such a wise, gentle, quietly hopeful book.
Exactly what I needed' - Rachel Clarke 'A lovely little book' -
Michael Rosen When it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just
the beginning. Recovery and convalescence are words that exist at
the periphery of our lives - until we are forced to contend with
what they really mean. Here, GP and writer Gavin Francis explores
how - and why - we get better, revealing the many shapes recovery
takes, its shifting history and the frequent failure of our modern
lives to make adequate space for it. Characterised by Francis's
beautiful prose and his view of medicine as 'the alliance of
science and kindness', Recovery is a book about a journey that most
of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of
hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing.

The day Jessica Hamel-Akré discovered the ideas of George C heyne - an
eighteenthcentury polymath and London society figure known as 'Dr Diet'
- it sparked an intellectual obsession, a ten-year study of women's
appetite and a personal unravelling.
In this bold and radical book, Hamel-Akré follows C heyne through the
pages of medical studies, novels and historical scandals, meeting
ash-eating mystics, wasting society girls, impoverished female fasters
and early feminist philosophers, all of whom were once
grappling with nascent ideas around food, longing and the body. In
doing so, she uncovers the eighteenth-century origins of both today's
diet culture and her own troubled relationship with wanting.
Blending history and memoir, The Art of Not Eating will change the way
we look at appetite, desire, rationality and oppression, and show how
it all got tangled up with what we eat.
