A cardboard box, a cassette, a telephone, a radio: the setting is bare. A body is convalescing, unproductive, set apart from the world. From the back of the room come murmurs, then sentences: not people but voices on the radio, which for days, months and years keep loneliness and pain at bay. Refusing metaphor and the comfort of fiction, the narrator sets out to describe the pain, fear and isolation of illness as she lives them day to day, and builds herself a garden of sounds, from the gurgling and crackling of hospital machines to the air passing through tubes.
