''Life-Size'' is the debut novel by South African author Jenefer Shute, published in 1992 and is a Literary Guild selection. It is a first person account of Josie, a twenty five year old graduate in Economics, suffering from anorexia, who is hospitalised in an attempt to stop her from starving herself to death.
