'She is a breathtakingly good writer, and brings all her elegance and poise as a novelist to the story of her own life' Guardian
One of the most anticipated books of 2017, I AM, I AM, I AM is a memoir with a difference - a story of a woman's life in near-death experiences, told in a series of intense, visceral
snapshots at different ages and in different locations. It is a story you finish newly conscious of your own vulnerability, 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 Times bestselling 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? I AM, I AM, I AM will speak to readers who loved Cheryl Strayed's WILD or Max
Porter's GRIEF IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS.
