The latest chronic illness books

Books about chronic illness describe living with a condition that does not go away. Pain, fatigue, good days and bad days, and the struggle to be believed are part of the picture. Memoirs and novels here make an invisible experience visible, with frankness and often with wit. The newest come first.
