'A blazing, incandescent love song to life itself' LILY KING

You tell me we are made of seven billion billion billion atoms. I can feel every one of them as I write this all down. It's a rush to feel that, like falling in love. Remembering is like falling in love with you, with us, again and again.

Faced with the prospect of losing her memory, a writer revisits the moments that changed her - from childhood to motherhood, loss and ill-health. Through shifting pronouns and perspectives, moving across place and time, she unpicks the fabric of fact and experience to stitch a new tapestry of personhood, both real and imaginary, mundane and profound.

Heart-rending and intimate All of Us Atoms remakes the memoir, urging us to revel in our mutable, messy, multitudinous selves.
