A student writing her dissertation on the program’s history begins to suffer from insomnia. As her world unravels and under the weight of expectations by both society and her close friends, she worries that maybe they are all right when they tell her it would be better—for the good of another person and for the good of the country—to sacrifice everything that she is and get conjoined. Mending Bodies blends body horror and political allegory to explore a world where even the motives of those you love most are shaped by larger forces.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Fiction\"\u003e小說 Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Hong+Kong+Literature\"\u003e香港文學 Hong Kong Literature\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Speculative+Fiction\"\u003e思辨小說 Speculative Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Dystopian+Fiction\"\u003e反烏托邦小說 Dystopian Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Body+Horror\"\u003e身體恐怖 Body Horror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Political+Fiction\"\u003e政治小說 Political Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Social+Commentary\"\u003e社會寓言 Social Commentary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Psychological+Fiction\"\u003e心理小說 Psychological Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Literary+Fiction\"\u003e文學小說 Literary Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lai Chu Hon, Jacqueline Leung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67899876442418,"sku":"9781949641769","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4772\/5106\/files\/9781949641769.jpg?v=1790962376","url":"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/products\/mending-bodies-by-lai-chu-hon-jacqueline-leung","provider":"Starry Ferry Books 星渡書店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
