« The Book's Introduction | Main | Literary Review - Review »
When I first heard about One in Three, in particular that it was a son’s personal journey into the history of science and cancer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was concerned that this book would be too grim or too personal. However, I am delighted to say that I was wrong; this is a fascinating book of the history of medicine and cancer and, in the end, reassuring.
I am Adam Wishart, a writer and documentary maker. I wrote ONE IN THREE : a son's journey into the history and science of cancer. It was nominated for the Royal Society Book Prize.

I started it because my dad fell ill with cancer, and I wanted a book which answered some of my basic questions: how did he get it, would he be healed and why was there no cure?
"An amazing book" says Professor Karol Sikora. "Riveting" says David Lodge
Before that I wrote LEAVING REALITY BEHIND.
"An important story and as absorbing as a well crafted thriller." The Financial Times Other reviews.
And before that I made documentaries for the BBC. One of which won an RTS Award.
