Sono's grandmother was an enigma...

Hi

Would you say that these lines (as the start of a short story) are natural English? Any suggestions please?

Sono's grandmother was an enigma with innumerable secrets buried in her chest—the very frail chest that was infected more often than not. Before her death, the poor lady spitted phlegm and blood morning, noon and night and was in a miserable state.

Thanks,

Tom
