Description
In the early days of modern surgery, a new kind of specialist emerged—one tasked with rebuilding faces after war, violence, and disease. This gripping narrative follows the people and practices behind facial reconstruction, tracing how surgeons, scientists, and patients navigated the boundary between medicine and identity. Through vivid historical detail and human-centered storytelling, the book explores themes of trauma, ethics, and the cultural meaning of appearance. With Fitzharris’s sharp, accessible style and meticulous research, it reveals how the quest to restore a face also reshaped what society understands about healing, dignity, and the body.
