Each character lives and dies by the achievements and misadventures of medical science. This new novel by the author of The Curative and Within the Kiss walks back through history revealing what we've come to recognise as typical Charlotte Randall obsessions - notably a maddeningly odd vocabulary often used for shock effect and bizarre medical matters.
