\r\n\r\nFrom the author of Hild, a fierce and urgent autobiographical novel about a woman facing down a formidable foe. So Lucky is the sharp, surprising new novel by Nicola Griffith\u2014the profoundly personal and emphatically political story of a confident woman forced to confront an unnerving new reality when in the space of a single week her wife leaves her and she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.Mara Tagarelli is, professionally, the head of a multimillion-dollar AIDS foundation; personally, she is a committed martial artist. But her life has turned inside out like a sock. She can\u2019t rely on family, her body is letting her down, and friends and colleagues are turning away\u2014they treat her like a victim. She needs to break that narrative: build her own community, learn new strengths, and fight. But what do you do when you find out that the story you\u2019ve been told, the story you\u2019ve told yourself, is not true? How can you fight if you can\u2019t trust your body? Who can you rely on if those around you don\u2019t have your best interests at heart, and the systems designed to help do more harm than good? Mara makes a decision and acts, but her actions unleash monsters aimed squarely at the heart of her new community.This is fiction from the front lines, incandescent and urgent, a narrative juggernaut that rips through sentiment to expose the savagery of America\u2019s treatment of the disabled and chronically ill. But So Lucky also blazes with hope and a ferocious love of self, of the life that becomes possible when we stop believing lies.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
