Getting cancer in your twenties is hardly a picnic. But in this sparkling romantic comedy by Rita Ciresi, two young cancer survivors manage to meet, fall in love, and live to laugh about it.
Twenty-seven-year-old Francie Malarkey has one remaining relative left on earth her Great-Uncle Sol, a concentration camp survivor whose last grand mission is to see Francie happily married (preferably to a cardiac surgeon). Francie, however, has zero interest in getting hitched to some guy who actually knows the Latin names for her more intimate body parts. Although she would love to claim that she met Mr. Right at a noisy New Year’s Eve party, her initial encounter with her husband-to-be comes to pass in a hushed hospital waiting room marked with fallout shelter symbols. Joel Goldman--like Francie--is a young cancer survivor who happens to be sitting underneath a warning sign--DANGER! RADIATION IN USE!--that seems to imply that love is a risky business best undertaken by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.
Francie and Joel's courtship would be a dream come true. . . if only Great-Uncle Sol would stop insisting that Francie needs to marry a doctor instead of a guy who already has one foot in the grave. . . if only Joel's doctor-father would stop trying to micromanage his son's medical care. . . and if only Francie and Joel learn to accept the fact that any person on earth can pass through death's door without a moment's notice.
Bring Back My Body to Me--quarterfinalist for the Breakthrough Novel Award and runner-up for the Faulkner/Wisdom Novella Award—illustrates that sometimes the deepest and most abiding relationships result from our most trying experiences.
Bring Back My Body to Me eBook Rita Ciresi
I've been a fan of Rita Ciresi since I read Blue Italian, and Bring Back My Body to Me is another wonderful story. I hope lots of people take a peek at this book and give it a read. Her characters are unforgettable and the story is layered with richness that gets you thinking about the entire family, wishing there were a series featuring Francie and Joel. Joel's parents' gardener is probably my favorite character. Nobody can capture people like Ciresi. This is a funny, hopeful story that will leave you ready to buy her next book. I loved it. Five stars just isn't enough.Product details

Bring Back My Body to Me eBook Rita Ciresi Reviews
I highly recommend this book and anything else written by Ms. Ciresi. She really knows how to tell a story and this one does not disappoint.
I am a huge fan of this author and this one did not disappoint. This was such a poignant and wistful read with the author's signature humor. Wish we didn't have to wait so long but Rita Ciresi's stories are worth waiting for.
I love Rita Ciresi's books. Easy to identify with the people she writes about, no matter what your background. I have read all of her books to date and you can laugh and cry with her characters.
We meet Francie and Jake when they first meet each other, in the waiting room of a hospital radiation unit. Ciresi, the master of dialogue, seats us alongside them where we can eavesdrop without being noticed. Throw in Francie's Uncle Sol from the independent living housing, and it's a wild ride to recovery. Ciresi takes two dreaded vicissitudes of life-- illness and death--and stares them straight in the face. No stranger to relationships, she has spun another brilliant novel about love in all its intimacies-- pretty and ugly--and about the constraints of family ties and obligations that threaten to unravel it.
Ciresi will have you laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh.
I've just finished the 4th book of fiction I've read by Rita Ciresi in 2 months Bring Back My Body To Me. I inevitably hanker for more of her writing when I finish one of her books, finding myself first laughing in recognition, and finally, moved to tears. I somehow identify with her vulnerable, flawed, and endearingly, achingly human heroines. They plow through their quotidien conflicts fraught with ambivalence, resignation, bewilderment, gutsiness and the persistent need and desire to risk all for love that drives and redeems them.
Her writing is chock full of credible and delicious details, full of the textures and nuances of life's everydayness, its awkwardness and joys, and its beating heart full of desires. Richly moving and entertaining.
