Description
Some of Us Just Fall On Nature and Not Getting Better by Polly Atkin A searing blend of memoir, nature writing and pathography, this book traces a remarkable journey through illness. After years of unexplained health problems, the author's understanding of her body had become fluid and disjointed. When she was finally diagnosed with two chronic conditions in her thirties, she began to piece together her own history. The author examines her genetic inheritance, her place in the natural world and her future in her body, tracing a path that takes her from misdiagnoses to wild swimming in the Lake District. This is a powerful exploration of what it means to be human, and how our bodies shape us. Defiant and dazzling, this book raises important questions about the relationship between illness, identity and the natural world.
