Written on the Body is a secret code only visible in certain lights: the accumulation of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, tell the whole story. I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands. She has translated me into her own book.

Who is this book for?
This book offers a deeply poetic and intimate look at how our bodies hold personal history, almost like a manuscript written over time. If you enjoy lyrical prose and thoughtful reflections on identity and memory, you'll find this a captivating read. Louise's ability to interpret the body's signs as a sort of secret language makes for a uniquely moving experience.
