Laura Fjellstad's body has been her worst enemy since she was a child. Now, just divorced, she lives in New York with her daughter and is undergoing treatment for endometriosis, a chronic illness with no cure. Pain is always present and conditions your life. But as the novel takes us back, the reader will meet a younger, healthier Laura: a hopeful bride for the future, a queer teenager, a patient in hospitals and surgeries, a girl delighted with figure skating. Any illness is a lonely experience - and a chronic illness often leads to a lonely life - but Laura struggles to live in everyone's world and for pain not to define who she is and how she lives. She has to overcome the limitations of her fragile body and what everyone expects of her, if she wants to face the challenges of everyday life and the complexities of love. Without giving up anything.
