I Am, I Am, I Am. Seventeen Brushes with Death

Descriere

An extraordinarily intimate memoir of the the brushes with death that have made Maggie O'Farrell the woman and the writer she is today, for readers of THE LAST ACT OF LOVE and WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR.

 

I AM, I AM, I AM is Sunday Times bestseller and Costa Novel-Award winner Maggie O'Farrell's electric and shocking memoir of the near death experiences that have punctuated her life; it will appeal to readers of Cheryl Strayed's WILD or Joan Didion's A YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING.

A childhood illness she was not expected to survive.  A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. A terrifying encounter on a remote path.  A mismanaged labour in an understaffed hospital.

 

O'Farrell has a remarkable ability to convey the texture of human emotion with precision - Observer
