Happy publication day to Karen Havelin. PLEASE READ THIS LEAFLET CAREFULLY is out now. “It dares you be nosy, to eavesdrop and listen in to a stoic young woman whom no one noticed until she began to disappear – a burning triumph.” – Paul Beatty, Man Booker Prize 2016

Karen Havelin’s Please Read This Leaflet Carefully is a life told in reverse and a subversion of what we expect from stories of illness. Having been diagnosed with endometriosis in her twenties, we follow Laura Fjellstad in her struggle to live a normal life across New York, Paris and Oslo, fueled by her belief that to survive her chronic illness she must be completely self-reliant.

To be devoured intensely in one sitting, Please Read This Leaflet Carefully is a remarkable debut novel with bracing emotional insights and piercing descriptions of pain that linger in one’s mind long after the last page. It is also a beguiling meditation on relationships, motherhood, sexuality, pain and the limitations of our own bodies.
