Sophie Kinsella’s latest novel is “What Does It Feel Like?” Eve, a successful author, wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband explains that she had an operation to remove a large malignant tumor in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk and write again and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, she learns to recall what was most important to her – long walks with her husband, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it. “What Does It Feel Like” is also available digitally in Libby.
