Soon after a casual relationship, Emma discovers that she has
contracted genital herpes, a condition she had scarcely known to
exist. Her father, Ernest, and new boyfriend, Sam, will soon join
her in a struggle to cope with one of the forgotten diseases of our
day. And while each will choose a different solution-one,
counselling; another, medicine; the last, the law-all three will
learn that their path to recovery is far from assured.
Moved by the pain he has witnessed amongst herpes sufferers and
the people close to them, R. G. Clarke has crafted a novel about
the heroic fight that millions of people wage every day, not just
against a disease but also against the stigma that society
willingly attaches to it. With a hint of mystery and the slightest
dash of a thriller, "Stigma" will entertain as well as inform.
