This memoir has inspired me to one day delve into anatomy, a subject I, until very recently, found uninteresting and dated. How wrong I was. I want to start a blog where I recommend books just so I can put this on there. I'm beyond shocked at the fact that I haven't been recommended this before, and will be righting this wrong, because wow. The life this woman has lived is impressive and enrapturing. The descriptions of her experiences are as rich as her humour. I was simply hypnotised. Not to mention heartbroken.. this is absolutely not for the faint of heart, but if you feel prepared to face the horrors of human cruelty, read this book. You will not regret it.
