‘[Nine Pints] is not only brave but also powerfully feminist. Fierce and forensic... what it exposes is strangely beautiful ’

Reviews
‘Astonishing... This absorbing, vital book...is a wonder in its own right’ Sarah Ditum
‘An absorbing, vital book by one of the best non-fiction writers working today’
‘George [...] as a journalist, not a doctor, has an even keener eye for the [body's] social and political qualities... George's nine chapters demonstrate that blood is a living tissue which defies our attempts to make it stand still’ Kate Womersley
‘Important . . . immensely readable’
