Insightful, inspirational, gorgeously written, it is a book to be read at a sitting, a story you finish newly conscious of life's fragility, determined to make every heartbeat count.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. Shocking, electric, unforgettable, this is the extraordinary memoir from Costa Novel-Award winner and Sunday Timesbestselling author Maggie O'Farrell. It is a book to make you question yourself. What would you do if your life was in danger, and what would you stand to lose? Our Booksellers Say... "This book is a dizzying reminder of how absolutely wild, scary and incredible life can be. Maggie O'Farrell has had more brushes with death than most, and lived to tell the tales - and tell them brilliantly. I found the chapter on allergies especially memorable, as the emotional impact of living with life-threatening allergies is not much discussed, but this whole book is well worth your attention."
