Is There Anything You Want? by Margaret Forster

In Margaret Forster's characteristically compelling and clear-eyed style, her latest work is a humane and heartbreaking novel about a taboo subject, and about what it feels like to be a survivor. What do Mrs H, Rachel, Edwina, Ida, Sarah, Dot and Chrissie have in common? They're all women -- fat, thin, old, young, professional, incompetent -- and appear as diverse as human nature can be. But they are all survivors. This compelling novel follows the ripples that go out into ordinary lives, women's lives in particular, that have been scarred by a shared experienced, all connected by the same hospital clinic. It is a novel about living in the shadow of disease and with its scars, whether mental or physical, looking back over one's shoulder while trying to go forward.
