A series of linked stories set in a world where pain starts showing as light shining from the sick part of the body.
This change didn't have the effects I (and at least 1 of the characters) expected nor did the book go in directions I thought it might, but it was beautifully written. This is the 2nd of the author's books I've read and I'm really looking forward to reading others of these lovely and unexpected explorations of unlikely premises.
