Description

Body Kintsugi is a powerful and personal novella that explores the concept of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with liquid gold. Senka Marić uses this idea to examine illness, survival, and recovery in a deeply personal story.

The narrator's life is turned upside down when she discovers a lump in her armpit, a diagnosis that forces her to confront her past and her body in ways she never thought possible. Through her journey with cancer, Marić sheds light on the complex relationships we have with our bodies and the ways in which illness can both break us and heal us.

This intimate and optimistic book is a poignant exploration of what it means to live with vulnerability and to find beauty in the brokenness of life.
