A curious and deeply personal look at the effects of epilepsy on a young woman’s life. Using art as a way of coping with her condition and the subsequent treatments that she undergoes Elodie explores the fragility of memories, the difficulty of living with a condition that changes the way you think and process information, and how trauma can both devastate and bring families together.

The artwork is profound and emotive, veering from disturbingly abstract representations of illnesses to cartoony line drawings of Elodie’s interactions with the people in her life.

I’m not sure if enjoyable is the right word but I found it to be a well-constructed novel that I think rewards the reader with an ultimately uplifting experience.
