I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes With Death

BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week

'Astonishing' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times

'A breathtakingly good writer' 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. It is a memoir you will 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.
