‘I love the indignation in the face of silence.’

Caryl Lloyd

‘Many have set out to relate their experiences or ideas about cancer, but no one that I know has so far attempted to know cancer as well as has Evelyne Accad, to examine all its faces and deceptions, its underbelly, its shadow, its startling assaults manifesting in and overpowering the body, the psyche and the culture at large.’

Deena Metzger

‘This is an important book of an extraordinary guide for all people. A beautifully crafted book, studied, profound, magnificent.’
