Chimera: Living Through Leukaemia, A Memoir

Written by Jody White

Narrated by Jody White

Being forced to confront death is a profound opportunity to explore what it means to be alive.

"An extra-ordinary book, which has been by my side in my own journey through cancer." - Ian Marchant, Author of A Hero For High Times and The Longest Crawl

Jody White's eighteenth year of life filled his heart with young love – only to break him apart. Diagnosed with a rare form of Acute Leukaemia, he was given just two weeks to live.

With intelligence, nuance, and sensitivity, Jody White draws the reader into the intimate whirlwind of treatment that followed. The stylistically golden story captivates and inspires, gathering wisdom out of what was a dark, dark time.

A fascinating and inventive must-read, this deeply moving memoir masterfully challenges some of the received wisdoms on how illness should be written.

Chimera is an absolutely inspiring page-turner.
