Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies

Something joyous and evil is roaming about within Lia's body, learning about her life from the inside out. A shape-changer. A tourist went wrong. It's making its way along the banks of her canals. It's getting worse. When Lia's world is turned upside down by a shocking diagnosis, the lines between her past and present begin to blur.

Deeply hidden secrets are reawakened. As the voice prowling within Lia takes control of her story, and the landscape around her becomes indistinguishable from the one within, Lia and her family are forced to confront some of the most difficult questions of all: how can they move on from the events that have shaped, when the bodies contain everything? And what does it mean to die with grace when you just aren't ready to let go?

Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies is a coming-of-age narrative set near the conclusion of a life. Maddie Mortimer's breathtaking debut is a symphonic voyage through one woman's body: a wild and poetic celebration of desire, forgiveness, and the darkness within all.
