  Ben Watt is one half of the pop group Everything But The Girl , and was recently struck down by a rare, life-threatening illness called Churg-Strauss Syndrome. It attacked his bowel, leaving it badly diseased and irreparably damaged. In this book, Watt describes all the traumatic events. Partly a medical story, it's also an account of Watt's relationship with his partner, Tracey Thorn, and with his family.
