the long version

"From the novel's first line - "Word has spread of my body" - we are thrust into the mind of a young unnamed woman whose skin is spiraled by mast-cell leukemia. Brilliant, panicked, obsessed, and richly human, she tumbles into a journey of discovery that carries her from backstage parties to hospitals, and from London flats to the shores of Barbados. Paisley Girl is less a novel of disease than a tracing of the path from body to soul."--BOOK JACKET.
