Meet Elodie Harrington, college student and medical anomaly. From
chicken pox to tuberculosis, Elodie suffers such a frequent barrage
of illnesses that she moves into the Brown University infirmary.
When charismatic Chess Hunter enters the infirmary with two smashed
knees, he and Elodie begin an intense affair, but Chess is only a
visitor to Elodie's perpetual state of medical siege. As he heals,
he moves back to his former life. Elodie heads in the other
direction and begins to see a ghost. When Professor Mark
Kirschling, M.D., gets wind of Elodie, he's convinced he can make
his professional mark by cracking her case but he's entirely
unprepared for what he's about to encounter.
Andrea Seigel has found a wry, ingenious way to explore the
contrast between the first frisson of mortality and a life lived in
defiance of it.
