I am, I am, I am: seventeen brushes with death. Maggie O’Farrell. 2018.

A memoir with a difference. I AM, I AM, I AM is novelist Maggie O’Farrell’s unforgettable account of a life in near-death experiences. A childhood illness she was not expected to survive. A terrifying encounter on a remote path. A mismanaged labour in an understaffed hospital. Insightful, inspirational, intelligent, it is a story you finish newly conscious of life’s fragility, determined to make every heartbeat count.
