BuzzFeed's 33 Most Exciting New Books Bustle's 28 Most Anticipated Non-fiction Books of 2018 Nylon's 50 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018 Huffington Post's 60 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018 Electric Literature's 46 Books to Read By Women of Colour in 2018 For as long as Porochista Khakpour can remember, she has been sick. For most of that time, she didn't know why. A story of survival, pain and transformation, Sick examines the colossal impact of illness on one woman's life. It is a journey that took Porochista Khakpour from Tehran, the town of her birth, through the major cities of America, the country she came to call home, before she eventually found a diagnosis of late-stage Lyme disease. Sick explores what it means to feel at home in one's body, and also one's country. And what it means not to.
