So Lucky

Quite unlike the other books I've read by Nicola Griffith, mainly as it's not some sort of science fiction. I struggled a bit with the very short passages, but soon eased into it, mainly as the writing is very good. I was wondering where the story was going, as it seem to be a semi-autobiographical tale of dealing with multiple sclerosis, but it did eventually result in an outcome.

If this tale is half the experience and reality of those with dealing with multiple sclerosis, then the anger of the protagonist is fully understandable.
