Cuando Vera era niña, un demonio rondaba su casa y acosaba a su madre, martilleándole los nervios hasta postrarla en la cama durante días. Entre las sesiones de exorcismo con la 'meiga' y las citas con el psiquiatra, año tras año, la superstición se desvanece para dejar paso al diagnóstico. Pero, a pesar de los malos tratos, la enfermedad y las excentricidades, el amor de una madre y su hija es más fuerte que cualquier otra cosa, sobreviviendo al paso del tiempo y a las tormentas. 'El Cuerpo de Cristo' es la declaración de amor de una hija a su madre, a la que tiene que cuidar siendo demasiado joven, pero también es el retrato trágico y universal de una mujer encerrada en su papel de hija, madre y esposa en una España patriarcal, pobre y católica. Realizada durante una residencia en la Maisons des auteurs de Angoulême (Francia), esta primera novela gráfica de Bea Lema destaca por su impresionante estilo: junto a los dibujos, increíbles bordados hechos a mano por la autora y un diseño engañosamente ingenuo inspirado en los arpilleristas chilenos, y decoraciones que recuerdan a la cerámica española.
