'Searingly honest and important' RACHEL CLARKE Honest, intelligent
and unsentimental, Patient 1 is a startling self-portrait written
with wit and vulnerability, and a unique testament to the power of
hope in the face of illness. Charlotte Raven had never heard of
Huntington's Disease when, in her mid-thirties, she discovered that
her father was suffering from the illness. Life for her and her
young family would never be the same again. Frank and fearless,
this is her memoir of coming to terms with this inherited
neurodegenerative disease and its impact on her body, mind and
memory. It is at once an act of self-preservation and a kind of
reckoning: with the illness, with the person she once was and with
the person she is now. In an afterword, Raven's doctor Ed Wild -
one of the country's leading experts in Huntington's - explains how
doctors and patients like Charlotte are working together in the
hope of one day eliminating this disease altogether. 'Insightful,
frank and often moving...Raven writes with humour...and no small
amount of courage' Guardian Shortlisted for the RSL Christopher
Bland Prize 2022
