The Condition by Jennifer Haigh tells the story of one family that falls apart shortly after daugher Gwen is diagnosed with Turners syndrome, a rare condition that keeps her trapped in the body of a twelve year old girl her whole life.

Haigh writes with such exquisite insight and detail that the book becomes about the human condition, specifically how we relate to each other within our families.

This is an incredible novel, I couldn’t put it down. Haigh is a truly gifted writer, I look forward to reading more from her.
