Dolores and Victor are both successful, both Americans living alone in England. They meet and fall instantly in love, only to discover they agree on nothing.

In 1992, Marilyn French was told she had one year to live. A smoker of 48 years she was diagnosed as having cancer of the oesophagus, a cancer which is almost always fatal. Five years on, having battled with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a heart attack and her back breaking, she is very much alive. And - astonishingly - her body shows no sign of cancer.

Höfundur Kvennaklósettsins sendir hér frá sér ógleymanlegar endurminningar um lygilegan sigur sinn á krabbameini í vélinda. Raunar sigraðist Marilyn French þrisvar á dauðanum. Eftir nokkrar rangar sjúkdómsgreiningar var hún loks árið 1992 greind með krabbamein í vélinda. Í þessum endurminningum leiðir hún lesendur í gegnum skelfilega reynslu sína af geisla- og lyfjameðferð og dáinu sem fylgdi í kjölfarið. Enginn bjóst við að hún kæmi aftur til meðvitundar og þvi síður að hún næði bata.
