There’s Nothing Wrong With Her
Bedridden with an illness doctors keep failing to find, she starts receiving visits from a dead Italian.
Vita is confined to bed by an illness her doctors cannot identify and her friends have started to doubt, in a house she shares with a partner losing patience. Then a long-dead Italian nobleman begins appearing in her room. Weinberg wrote it after years of her own undiagnosed illness, and the novel is unusually good on the specific loneliness of not being believed, which the fantastical framing sharpens rather than softens.

Jason Isaacs
a witty tale of panic, lust, the search for identity, and, by way of fantasy, the helpful companionship of a long-dead Italian nobleman.
