'Has the power to knock the breath out of you' THE TIMES 'A must-read' JESSIE BURTON'One of the most brilliant writers of her generation, as witty, wry and unsentimental as Nora Ephron' OLIVIA LAING 'I LOVED this book' NINA STIBBE In this short, striking memoir, Jean Hannah Edelstein charts the course of her unexpectedly brief relationship with breasts. As she comes of age, she learns that breasts are a source of both shame and power. In early motherhood, she sees her breasts transform into a source of sustenance and a locus of pain. And then, all too soon, she is faced with a diagnosis and forced to confront what it means to lose and rebuild an essential part of yourself. Funny and moving, elegant and furious and full of heart, Breasts is an original and indispensable read. It is both an intimate account of one woman's relationship with her own body and a universally relatable story for anyone who has ever had - or lost - breasts.'Painful and funny and essential' FRANCESCA SEGAL 'A thunderclap . . . I was blown away' MARIANNE LEVY'A tit punch of a book' ROSAMUND DEAN'Nobody writes about the curveballs life throws at you, or helps you deal with them, like Jean Hannah Edelstein' DAVID WHITEHOUSE
