Now an HBO film starring Oprah Winfrey & Rose Byrne.'No dead woman has done more for the living . . . A fascinating, harrowing, necessary book.' - Hilary Mantel, GuardianHer name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa.

Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world. The internationally bestselling story of a young woman whose death in 1951 changed medical science for ever . . .
