Focused on immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks brings Rebecca Skloot's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of medical and science.

Together, these elements make The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
