Description
Winner of the Wellcome Book Prize 2017 and longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2016, this novel tells the story of Simon Limbeau's heart. A twenty-four-hour whirlwind of death and life, it follows the heart as it prepares for a day that will be very different from any other.
Translated from the French by Jessica Moore, the book explores the inner workings of the human body in a way that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. As Simon's alarm clock approaches, his heart begins to beat with anticipation, readying itself for the day ahead.
This gripping and thought-provoking novel raises important questions about life, death, and what it means to be alive. With its unique perspective on the human body, Mend the Living is a compelling read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
