There-s a Cure for This : A Memoir

The striking debut memoir from award-winning doctor and writer, Emma Espiner.

Encompassing whanau, love, death, '90s action movies and scarfie drinking, There's a Cure for This is Espiner's own story, from a childhood spent shuttling between a 'purple lesbian state house and a series of man-alone rentals' to navigating parenthood on her own terms; from the quietly perceived inequities of her early life to hard-won revelations as a Maori medical student and junior doctor during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Clear, irreverent and beautiful, this book offers a candid and moving examination of what it means to be human when it seems like nothing less than superhuman will do.
