About this ebook
M is a woman suffering with chronic pain. She has been for as long as she can remember.
No one can see it. So no one believes it.
Desperately seeking relief for what no one wants to treat, M turns to a series of increasingly unorthodox treatments in search of a cure.
From the author of Strong Female Character, Fern Brady's debut novel explores bodily autonomy, medical misogyny and the repercussions of what happens when your internal world is suffocated.
