During several months of cancer treatment, the writer decides to turn a necessary evil into an opportunity: the luxury of reading whatever takes her fancy. 'An Everywhere: A Little Book about Reading' is a quietly passionate and witty defence of the joys and consolations of reading in both the difficult and day-to-day aspects of our lives. AUTHOR: Heather Reyes is the editor of Oxygen Books' acclaimed city-pick series of urban travel guides and the author of Zade, longlisted for the Prince Maurice Prize with Zadie Smith and Joanna Briscoe. REVIEWS: 'I have so much enjoyed 'An Everywhere'. It is a brilliant travel guide to the city of books: the city we hold within us, and the one we share with all its other citizens. I love Heather's passion for reading and the blend of erudition and intimacy that she brings to the discussion of what reading is and what books can do within a life. It is such a truthful book, honest about panic and anguish, and fascinating about what happens when the panic ebbs and the reader continues.' -Orange Prize-winning novelist Helen Dunmore
