'Astute, compassionate, and brilliant' Siri Hustvedt Vanessa wakes
from a coma having forgotten ten years of her life. Toussaint is
haunted by voices. Claire loses the use of her hand because of an
inexplicable pain. Noga Arikha began studying these patients to
explore how our physical experiences inform our identities. The
question took on unexpected urgency when Arikha's own mother began
to show signs of Alzheimer's disease. Weaving together stories of
her subjects' troubles and her mother's decline, Arikha searches
for meaning in the science she set out to study. The result is an
unforgettable journey across the ever-shifting boundaries between
ourselves and each other. As her mother slips into the fog of
dementia, philosopher Noga Arikha grapples with the unbreakable
links between our bodies and our sense of self. 'Fascinates on
every page' Lisa Appignanesi, author of Mad, Bad and Sad 'Will
leave you humanly richer and, wonder of wonders, at peace with
yourself' Antonio Damasio, author of Descartes' Error
