The
Language of Water
(UK
customers)
This is an extremely well written book by the author
Jude Clarke who is a lupus sufferer.
As a child she had to watch her father suffering from
manic depression only to discover at the age of 21 that she herself
had a chronic disease which would seriously affect her way of life
& that of her husband and family.
She adeptly conveys both the physical and emotional
aspects of living with lupus and the need to have doctors and consultants
in whom she can trust.
It is so heartening to read that despite the constraints
placed on her and her family by the illness, she has still managed
to lead a very fulfilling life, travelling extensively and becoming
a well respected artist.
I would strongly recommend this book to any lupus
sufferer or lupus carer as it would inspire them to know what can
be achieved in spite of this devastating illness.

About The Language of Water
A painter's life and work, undergoing the constant ordeal of the
disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, is described by Jude Clarke
with an insistence on love, memory and creativity that make it unique
both as an autobiography and as encouragement for the afflicted.
Jude Clarke's graceful, poignant portrayal is accompanied by full-colour
reproductions of her paintings which reflect her personal growth
during her long battle with lupus.
Illness and despair find their counterbalance in Clarke's exploration
of the roots of self in memory, place and family.
