Description:

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 WILD and GRIEF IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS.

Synopsis:

'She is a breathtakingly good writer, and brings all her elegance and poise as a novelist to the story of her own life' GuardianOne 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.
